RESHUFFLE IN KOTAYK: TYCOON’S SON-IN-LAW APPOINTED GOVERNOR
POLITICS | 02.04.15 | 13:47
Abovyan mayor Karapet Guloyan, a son-in-law of embattled tycoon
Gagik Tsarukyan, has been appointed governor of Kotayk, it emerged
at today’s meeting of the Cabinet.
He succeeds Aram Harutyunyan, a former minister of nature protection,
who will be appointed “at another job”.
Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan wished productive work to the newly
appointed governor, whose appointment comes less than a month after
Tsarukyan resigned as Prosperous Armenia Party leader and announced
his decision to quit politics.
Tsarukyan, who holds sway in Abovyan and the whole of the Kotayk
province, grew particularly critical of the government at the beginning
of the year but effectively walked away from a decisive showdown with
President Serzh Sargsyan after the latter challenged his political
credentials.
