Defense Minister Praises his ‘Good Friend’ the Police Chief

Vladimir Gasparyan is one of the best experts in Armenia’s Armed Forces and also in his field (i.e. the police), said Armenian Minister of Defense Seyran Ohanyan after the government meeting today, responding to a reporter’s question as to how he would assess newly appointed RA Police Chief Vladimir Gasparyan’s work at the defense ministry.

“At the same time, his professional mastery is not theoretical, he got it through experience — both in the interior ministry and in the military police. Furthermore, he is, for me, a good friend, and I consider his work at the defense ministry undoubtedly positive,” he said.

In Ohanyan’s opinion, the new police chief will use his abilities also at the police force so that he may properly implement the tasks put before him.

Recall, prior to being appointed police chief, Vladimir Gasparyan (pictured) worked as deputy defense minister.
