Authorities Representative at Tsarukyan's TV?
Recently, Hraparak reported that Gagik Tsarukyan, the leader of the Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK), is making significant changes at his owned "Kentron" television station. As a result, one of Tsarukyan's most loyal associates, Iveta Tonoyan, has left the organization, where she coordinated the news department.
We also wrote that new officials, a married couple, have emerged at "Kentron", overseeing the news block and dictating political direction. Employees of the television station have informed the media that one of the spouses, Mariam, has transferred from Public Television. She is a representative of the authorities at Tsarukyan's TV, which seems to have come under their control.
Iveta Tonoyan has gone completely underground and is not responding to calls. Mariam has previously worked at H2 and ArmNews; her Facebook page lists the First Channel as her current workplace. The husband, Ara Karamyam, has worked at H3 as an administrator, as well as at Ararat TV and more.
