Armenia’s Syunik and Ararat Regional Governors to be Sacked?

According to certain information, the marzpets (regional governors) of Syunik and Ararat marzes (provinces) will soon be discharged, reports local daily Hraparak in its issue today.

Syunik marzpet Suren Khachatryan said every official, from the moment of his appointment, must be prepared to also be released from his position; however, he considers recent talk on his dismissal to be just rumors.

Likely candidates for the position of Syunik marzpet include Deputy Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs Khachik Asryan, who said he’s received no such proposal. “I am continuing my [job] functions, promoting a healthy lifestyle and sports development programs,” he said.
