Ararat Mirzoyan on comic actor Hayk Marutyan`s candidacy for Yerevan  mayor post: "Six months ago, we were not taken seriously too"

ArmInfo. A political force must be formed in Armenia, based on the "Civil Contract" party, with the values and revolutionary goals proclaimed by Nikol Pashinyan and his  team, First Deputy Prime Minister Ararat Mirzoyan stated prior to the  government meeting today.  

According to him, this political force will become a "standard-bearer" of reforms, tackle the promotion of the values proclaimed, and thereby assume full responsibility for the  changes made in the country. "Various people, representatives of  various political and public structures can be involved in this  political force," the First Deputy Prime Minister said.

As for nominating a candidate from the "Civil Contract" separately  from the "Yelk" bloc for the post of Mayor of Yerevan in the person  of the famous comic actor Hayk Marutyan, according to Mirzoyan, this  does not mean that there is a split in the bloc. "It's too early to  make such conclusions. If there is a split in the "Yelk" bloc, then  it will certainly be officially announced'',  he declared. At the  same time, responding to the remark that many people do not take  Marutyan's candidacy seriously, Mirzoyan stated: "Six months ago, we  were not taken seriously too."
