YEREVAN MAYOR RUNS OUT OF PATIENCE
Tert.am
28.10.11
Despite Yerevan Mayor Karen Karapetyan's promise, boutiques, cafes
and other facilities in Abovyan Str in Yerevan are still working.
Some believe this is one of the reasons for his resignation. After
failing to keep his public promise, he complained to President Serzh
Sargsyan about the oligarchs and local "bosses" putting obstacles to
his program.
The president asked him to suspend his program because it might cause
a wave of protest. This time, however, the protesters are not ordinary
citizens, but people with fortunes and contacts. Their discontent
may prove crucial in the coming elections.
"But my word and authority!" Karen Karapetyan must have retorted. "The
authority may wait," was the president's reply.
Some observers have often reported such situations over the recent
period. So Mr. Karapetyan has run out of his patience and resigned.
