    Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan believes that it's generally
    not right for a prime minister to comment on news. He said this himself
    during the briefing following the Republican Party of Armenia (HHK)
    first economic conference on Sunday, responding to a journalist's
    comment that there are reports that recently resigned Yerevan mayor
    Karen Karapetyan (pictured) betrayed his team.

    "I am guided by those explanations which Karen Karapetyan stated
    publicly. I had a meeting with him, whereby he presented in detail
    his arguments for resignation which are completely consistent with
    his public statement. I see no other subtext, and I don't agree with
    other commentary," he said.

    Recall, Karen Karapetyan announced his resignation late last week,
    citing personal reasons and the move to a new job.

    Furthermore, Karapetyan, who served less than a year in office, denied
    rumors that he is leaving his post due to disagreements with Armenian
    President Serzh Sargsyan or any of the presidential staff. He called
    such rumors "absurd".
