YEREVAN, November 15. /ARKA/. The inauguration ceremony of new Yerevan mayor, Taron Margaryan, will be held on Friday, November 18 at 11 am during a recurrent session of the Council of Elders.

Speaking to reporters today Margaryan said he has worked with three mayors of Yerevan and has gained experience enough to run the city. He said he will do his best to use all his knowledge and possibilities.

Forty-nine members of the Council of Elders (legislative assembly) of the Armenian capital unanimously elected today Taron Margaryan as new mayor of Yerevan. Taron Margaryan is the son of former Prime Minister Andranik Margaryan, who died in 2007.
