Gagik Beglaryan’s resignation is an extraordinary phenomenon for Armenia, according to Vahagn Khachatryan, former Mayor of Yerevan.

“This resignation is the ‘first fruit’,” Khachatryan told a news conference in Yerevan.

“I can’t assess Beglaryan’s resignation as positive. I would prefer to see the authorities resign,” he said, adding that the power will change before the scheduled elections.
