It Was Unexpected for Me: Deputy Chief of Police Tigran Yesayan on His Resignation

Tert.am has spoken with Deputy Chief of Police Tigran Yesayan about the reasons behind his resignation request.

Mr. Yesayan, what was the reason for your resignation?

I do not wish to speak about the reasons right now. Firstly, I am not yet officially resigned; I have submitted my resignation request.

Why did you submit your resignation request?

I already said—I do not want to talk about that topic right now. Please understand me, I do not wish to discuss this. If someone is dismissed from their job, it is not a celebration, right?

Have they offered you another position?

No.

Was there an issue related to work, or is this a political decision?

I mentioned that I do not want to answer that question; I am not inclined to discuss it.

Is it normal for two Deputy Chiefs of Police to submit resignation requests in one day?

Well, such things happen; everything happens in life.

Have you decided what you will do next?

No, not yet, because I wasn’t expecting this; it’s not as if I had planned it.

So, was it decided in one day, and you say it was unexpected for you?

I said it. I said I do not want to talk about the reasons for my resignation, and I said it has been unexpected for me.

Earlier, it was reported that President Armen Sarkissian received a proposal for the dismissal of Deputy Chief of Police Hayk Mhryan.
