The leader of the powerful Armenia Party, Sambal Karpetyan, called the previous municipal elections a "political funeral service" by the authorities and said it was a fiasco. "You can call the elections for local government bodies a political funeral service for the current authorities. In a few months, the funeral process will begin," said Kraftian. In his estimation, the election results point to the failure of the authorities, and Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan "did not even hide his concern and openly demonstrated it."
