Minister of Internal Affairs of Armenia Arayik Harutyunyan calls on Armenian Demoyan to calm down and get serious. The minister notes that Hayk Demoyan’s Facebook post, which contains harsh words about him and Deputy Minister Hovhannes Hovhannisyan, does not correspond to reality.

Earlier, Hayk Demoyan announced on his Facebook page that during his absence, the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Deputy Minister broke into his office. He threatened the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Deputy Minister to make new discoveries about them. Demoyan said that he would make them dance, and also urged them not to disturb.

According to Araik Harutyunyan, Demoyan has not held any position for a long time. “The Minister of Internal Affairs and the Ministry are the founders of the Genocide Institute Museum, and Mr. Demoyan has not had any position in that institute for a long time,” he said and added that he went to meet the institute’s management and staff because there were various publications related to it.

“I mean, we went there as an authorized body, and I call on Mr. Demoyan to get serious and sober up, because what he wrote is not true,” he said, adding that Demoyan does not have an office in the institute, because he has not held any position for a long time.

The minister also presented certain details about the situation at the Genocide Institute. “Hayk Demoyan forced the acting head of the Genocide Institute to write an application for release and essentially came and sat in the director’s room,” he said, informing that Demoyan was warned about the illegality of the invasion.

In response to the observation that Demoyan is the head of the scientific council, Harutyunyan said that the institute was turned into a foundation from SNOC, and this caused the need for re-appointments, and Demoyan “was not appointed”.

“It is illegal and if it continues, we will contact the police. We received letters and we went to the institute and met with the staff. We asked about the problems and no question except financial transfers was heard,” he said, noting that these are Mr. Demoyan’s personal whims.

“I will write to the chief of police about this matter, so that he can bring order to this disorderly, self-proclaimed person who has no position, so that legitimacy is established in the institute,” said the minister, noting that at the moment the Genocide Institute has a temporary administrator, Gevorg Vardanyan. In the future, the minister notes, the director of the institute will also be elected in the appropriate order. “A new director of the museum-institute will be appointed at the government session in the near future,” he said.

It should be noted that in response to the minister’s comments, Hayk Demoyan made a new post on his Facebook page and asked five questions to the Minister of Internal Affairs, Araik Harutyunyan.

“1. Why didn’t you have time in a month to meet and discuss the situation together to answer my proposals?

2. Did you know that Hovhannes Hovhannisyan was trying to get me out of the museum through the police on your behalf?

3. During the meeting with me last week, the head of the legal department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs mentioned that my rights were violated in several episodes. Do you share that view?

4. Do you think it’s okay to enter someone’s room without permission or someone being present?

5. Are you ready to meet anywhere in the format of a press conference to address these issues and answer all the questions,” Demoyan asks.
