The My Step faction in Yerevan's Council of Elders dominated by the Civil Contract party of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has begun the process of a vote of no confidence in the mayor of the Armenian capital Hayk Marutyan.
“According to preliminary information, we already have 39 signatures [of council members,] more than the 33 signatures necessary [for a no confidence motion,]" member of the faction Armen Kotolyan said.
"The process has started, and I think that Hayk Marutyan will be dismissed before the end of this month," ARKA cited him as saying.
The Yerevan Council of Elders currently consists of three factions: My Step (54 members), Prosperous Armenia (5 members), and Luys (3 members).
