VERELQ presents the most notable publications of the Armenian press.
“time” the newspaper writes. “If no serious force majeure happens until next month, then the Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is going to carry out serious personnel changes in the government and its subordinate structures. Pashinyan has realized that his personnel are not only unprofessional and do not possess state management skills, but also do not enjoy more or less authority in the institutions they lead, which directly affects the authority’s authority in general.”
“Fact” the newspaper writes. According to “Past” newspaper, in the context of the developments in RA, a rather interesting conversation took place in the Foreign Ministry. According to the source of the newspaper, everyone in the Foreign Ministry is quite tense, because they understand what serious problem they will face in the near future, related to the reaction of international structures regarding the steps taken by the RA authorities towards the judicial system. The MFA is upset and they don’t know how to “plaster” the issues that have arisen. According to the newspaper, at the end of the working consultation, the minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan, in order to give a “duh” to his employees, he said: “don’t be depressed, I have “cleaned up” more serious cases in Strasbourg, what is this that we should not “clean up”?
“time” the newspaper writes. “Armenia’s power structures have been instructed to find such means of influencing judges that will force them to submit resignations. It refers to their property in the form of immovable and movable property. It is necessary to find at least a few judges who will follow the Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to the call and will submit a resignation letter. Although the judges are not so naive people that they would name all the property in their name.”
“People” the daily writes. “The Prime Minister of Armenia on the necessity of surgical interventions in the Armenian judicial system Nikol Pashinyanafter the announcements and the action following the call to blockade the court buildings, there was a fear that the international structures would take the incident negatively and react harshly. The former authorities made a big noise in this regard, drawing the attention of international structures to what happened. The opposite happened. The international structures, the US embassy in RA, the PACE co-reporters, the EU ambassador in RA, expressed their political support for the initiative of the authorities and emphasized the need to act in accordance with the RA constitution in that process.
The US Embassy in Armenia announced. “The people of Armenia have clearly indicated that they support these changes, and we encourage the government to pursue judicial reforms in a way consistent with the country’s constitution.” The PACE co-rapporteurs emphasized that judicial system reforms remain a priority, therefore they welcome Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s statement, as well as the desire to implement all this with the help of the Council of Europe. EU Ambassador to Armenia Piotr Svitalsky also said that they are ready to “support RA for deep and comprehensive reforms in the field of justice with technical or advisory support, with quite extensive financial support. We strongly support the commitments undertaken by the Prime Minister in the direction of implementing reforms in the justice sector.” In fact, the authorities have political support, but let’s note that financial support is no less important. after all, only political will is not enough to solve such serious problems on their own.”
“People” the newspaper writes. According to “Zhoghovurd” daily newspaper, RA law enforcement system is looking for the source, who presented himself as a judicial expert Artak Galstyanreported: Robert Kocharyan the decision to release was written by the President of the Court of Appeal Run to Rshtun and two more Appellate judges: Arshak Vardanyan and Mkhitar Papoyan: According to our information, the law enforcement officers are checking and taking explanations from the representatives of the judicial system, trying to understand what they have to do with the information published by the judicial expert. He said that they have doubts in the judicial system that maybe this information came from them, and they are “slandering” the judges. What will be revealed as a result of all this, let’s wait for the developments, but it is obvious that they are mixed up in the judicial system.”
“Publication” the newspaper writes. “Bako Sahakyan and the closed meeting of “My Step” was quite constructive, except for one episode. when Pashinyan’s fan Christine Poghosyan After greeting the president of Artsakh, he asked how is Kocharyan, Bako Sahakic, whose calmness can be envied, responded harshly: if you are so concerned about Kocharyan’s captivity, you can contact his office and demanded to maintain an atmosphere of mutual respect. Questions were asked about both the developments around Artsakh and the statements of former and current officials of Artsakh. Interested? Vitaly Balasanyan behavior. Bako Sahakyan noted that it was possible to be more correct, but “it’s a human temperament, we are not all alike”. He said that if any problem arises, they should not talk to each other on Facebook, he is ready to meet in any format to avoid unpleasant situations. Հարցրել են Քոչարյանի կալանքը փոխելու երաշխավորության մասին, ասել է, որ դա ոչ միայն Քոչարյանի հետ ունեցած ընկերական հարաբերություններով էր պայմանավորված, այլեւ մթնոլորտը լիցքաթափելու, դատարանի մոտ հավաքված կողմ եւ դեմ քաղաքացիների միջեւ բախում թույլ չտալու ցանկությամբ։ They asked if troops were brought from Artsakh to Armenia on March 1, he flatly denied it.”
“Right” the newspaper writes. “According to the circulating news, Levon Ter-Petrosyan Head of the Pension Department under the RA Ministry of Social Security during the years of power Zareh Sargsyan The legislative “quarrels” of the son of a member of parliament from KP continue. According to eyewitnesses, he is a member of the National Assembly “My Step” faction Hayk Sargsyan even now, he keeps “seniors”, he is always accompanied in the city by 2-3 people wearing sports clothes and acting as bodyguards. By the way, let’s remind that Hayk Sargsyan, deputy of the National Assembly “My Step” faction, recently stood out while driving a Mercedes-AMG GT C Roadster model car on the streets of Yerevan. The market value of that car is around 150 thousand dollars, and when there was a noise, he announced that it was his friend’s car. So, it is not excluded that this time he will announce that his friend’s “boyfriends” are walking around the city with him.
“time” the newspaper writes. Governor of Kotayk Romanos Petrosyan prime minister Nikol Pashinyan by decision, he will be on vacation until June 10. It is clear to everyone that Petrosyan went on vacation to help the KP candidate win in the mayoral elections of Abovyan, which will be held on June 9. But considering the fact that the KP candidate has very little chance of success, it is possible that Pashinyan gets rid of Petrosyan in this way, who will have no moral right to return to office if the elections fail. By the way, Romanos is also very dissatisfied with Petrosyan Sasun Mikayelyan»:
“Publication” the newspaper writes. “An investigative committee will not be formed in the National Assembly regarding the April war, because according to the Law “Regulations of the National Assembly” “In the fields of defense and security, only the competent standing committee of the National Assembly can exercise the powers of the investigative commission in the fields of defense and security, upon the request of at least one third of the total number of deputies.” In other words, in this case, this function will be taken over by the National Defense, Security, and Internal Affairs Standing Committee: Andranik Kocharyanled by”.
“Fact” the daily writes. “Yesterday, the official website of the government spread information that Nikol Pashinyanորոշմամբ Արարատի մարզի երկու փոխմարզպետ ազատվել է զբաղեցրած պաշտոնից: Before coming to power, the prime minister and his teammates constantly criticized that the regional government bodies did not justify themselves and that there are serious and profound things to be done there, and they especially targeted the deputy governors, stating that they, in fact, do not do anything, and those positions should be abolished. However, a year has already passed since the change of government, and the authorities have not taken concrete actions in this area. The dismissals are quite interesting, especially in the sense that the governor of Ararat is constantly appearing in funny and incomprehensible situations, but continues to hold office. How many times have we talked about the fact that governors are the weakest and most risky cadres of these authorities. There are reports that there will be a continuation of the changes in the leadership of marzpetarans, and against this background, it is interesting to know who will be next. It is not excluded that these total changes started in the governorates will affect the Aragatsotn marz as well, because the governorDavit Gevorgyan after the distribution of the video of the Russian flag being trampled by the RA, RA has a problem to show the Russian Federation that he was not specially appointed as the governor of the region. those videos appeared on the Internet some time after the appointment, and the authorities might not have been aware of the participation in such an action.”
“Publication” the newspaper writes. “Finally Ararat Mirzoyan had the opportunity to see the President of the State Duma of the Russian Federation up close Vyacheslav Volodin, shake his hand,” said our interlocutor. Let’s remember that the Speaker of the National Assembly participated in the session of the CSTO Council in Bishkek. By the way, a few days before the Bishkek session, in Moscow, the CSTO Permanent Council had already approved those changes. “They are related to the CSTO secretary recall mechanisms. does that position remain in the same country in cases of objective recall, or does it rotate and go to the next country? There is the following approach: if it has completed 2 years, then the rotation takes place, if it is less, the given country can propose another candidate. In all cases, it must be said that RA came out of the game as a winner at this stage.” How is that? “We won in the sense that we kept our quota deadline, and Belarus could not get its candidate Stanislav Zasin appoint remember that Belarus wanted to appoint Zas back on the 18th, in December Lukashenko announced that he was their candidate for the head of the CSTO, we showed Belarus that it did not go as it wanted, and the Belarus-Kazakhstan “Zagever” did not take place, which was in the interests of Azerbaijan.” What about the fact that as a result of those steps, the CSTO structure was quite discredited? By the way, how are Pashinyan-Russia relations in your opinion? “There are problems, but there are also positive trends. Moreover, the problems are not so much with Pashinyan, but with his entourage.”
