“Protesters Storm Mayor’s Residence: Tensions Rise in Alvadu as Rescue Service Employees Demand Accountability”
Protesters and employees of the rescue service recently broke the door of the mayor’s residence in Alvadu, causing a stir in the municipality. The head of the municipality, Shamlugh, confronted the rescue service employees, demanding to know who was responsible for the damage. Instead of answering, the employees surrounded the door with red ribbons, preventing entrance by the mayor and others. Mayor Arakadi Tamazyan expressed his frustration, highlighting the double standard that allows for the breaking of the rescue service’s door but not the mayor’s. Furthermore, tensions have been building between the rescue service and the “Country of Living” group, resulting in the expulsion of Simon Zakharov and the possibility of a vote of no confidence in the mayor. As a result, a meeting of the council was scheduled for today at 10 o’clock in Alvadu to address the situation.
Outside the municipality building, a large number of residents have gathered, naming themselves “Tamazyan” and calling for the election of David Ghumashyan as the new head of the municipality. Ghumashyan’s close association with the rescue service has led to speculation about his potential candidacy. Unofficial sources even suggest that Ghumashyan is the son-in-law of the Secretary of Security, Suren Papikyan.
It is important to note that the rescue service has been protesting for several months, and they have now taken the first step towards declaring a vote of no confidence in the municipality. The ongoing tensions between the rescue service and the mayor’s office, along with the involvement of the “Country of Living” coalition, have raised concerns about the stability and security of Alvadu. The council meeting today will undoubtedly play a crucial role in determining the future direction of the municipality.
This developing situation in Alvadu has captured the attention of both residents and the general public in Armenia. As the news unfolds, it remains to be seen how these tensions will be resolved and what implications they will have on the governance of the municipality. NEWS.am will be closely monitoring and reporting on any further developments in this story.
