There is an internal hissy fit between two high ranking QP members.
When BHK managed to narrowly hold onto its mayoral seat in Tsarukyan's Abovyan city, relations between QP MP Sasun Mikaelyan and Kotayk governor QP Romanos Petrosyan became strained. There were rumors that Sasun would quit the party after he wasn't chosen in a leadership board during QP's recent internal elections. Sasun denies any plans to quit.
He blamed the Abovyan loss on governor Romanos, saying that the QP challenger was Romanos' pick, and was a bad one. He refused to go to Abovyan and rally for the candidate, and even praised the BHK mayor for managing the city budget properly. In his turn, governor Romanos blames the candidate's narrow defeat on Sasun.

Drama nayshhhhh! ✌️ 🍿
Dzakh Harut, Armenchik and other famous singers had a concert in Hrazdan stadium yesterday. It was dedicated to Harut's return after 30 years of absence.
Notably missing was Razmik Amyan, another famous singer. There are rumors that he skipped the concert because of a recent negative feedback he received for performing a song praising Serzh Sargsyan. Although the music was not placed on his official channels, it was either leaked or shared with other channels for publishing.
Razmik Amyan has a history of accepting deals to write music for others, including from Serj's nephew Narek Sargsyan.
