A Change of Heart: Ruben Hayrapetyan Wants to Stay in Parliament

Parliamentarian, Football Federation of Armenia President Ruben Hayrapetyan, speaking to reporters at the National Assembly on Monday, said he will put forth his candidacy for the (majority) party-list ballot in the upcoming parliamentary elections. He, however, refused to say in which electoral district he will be nominated. Recall, in 2007, Hayrapetyan was elected in the Yerevan administrative district of Avan.

It’s important to note that on at least two occasions at press conferences last year, Hayrapetyan had said he isn’t preparing to run in the elections, explaining that the National Assembly is “not his place“.
