The paper says that Vashadze met with the President Serzh Sargsyan and discussed issues on the official visit of the Armenian President to Georgia.

The daily Hayots Ashkhar writes that according to the director of the “Sociometer” center Aharon Adibekyan all their polls show that the majority of the population has negative attitude toward early elections. “No one needs it, even the ANC,” the paper cited him as saying. The paper writes that the sociologist believes it is a political trick, political bluff. “If the ANC participated in the elections of local self-governmental bodies and won in at least 100 communities out of 900 we would have said bravo guys, people trust you, believe you. They are working in big cities, they do not visit provinces and it is not known yet on what account they are going to gather big amount of voices,” The paper cited Adibekyan as saying.
The daily Haykakan Zhamanak says it asked the RA Labor and Social Affairs Minister Arthur Grigoryan about possibility of his resignation in the row of the ones taking place currently. “What does this question mean? One day I have been appointed in the office, one day I must resign. I do not see any problem here. As to the row of resignations and talks that ministers of Prosperous Armenia must resign I do not have such information,” the paper cited him as saying.
