YEREVAN. – Past daily of the Republic of Armenia (RA) writes: In recent days, Zareh Sinanyan, the [High] Commissioner for Diaspora Affairs, has once again appeared in the spotlight of media and social media users; particularly the fact that he had commented on his own photo on Facebook—congratulating himself on Christmas.
According to Past newspaper’s information, the pro-government circles noticed this episode and were the first to publicize [it] and consistently started “circulating” the topic in the social domain.
According to our government source, this is not accidental. The authorities want to get rid of Sinanyan, and this was just another pretext to carry out information anti-propaganda [against him].
Let us note that the fact of appointing Sinanyan to that post was not unequivocally accepted by various circles of the Armenian diaspora, and the negative moods towards him have increased even more because of his activities—more specifically, inaction—and, in general, the incomprehensible policy pursued by the RA on diaspora affairs.
