What Position Will Be Given to the Former Governor of Syunik?

«Հրապարակ» newspaper reports: "Yesterday, a change in the Syunik governor was finally made, which had been planned for weeks. Melikset Poghosyan has stepped down in favor of Robert Ghukasyan, a former village mayor of Calavans and an advisor to the Prime Minister since 2018, who has been living in Syunik for almost two years. He has long been the head of the working group of the inter-agency commission dealing with Syunik issues, and with the funds allocated to Syunik from the government, he has managed to win the hearts of thousands of Syunik residents. Therefore, it is said that his appointment has been positively received in the region. The mayor of Meghri congratulated him on the Facebook page of the municipality as soon as the ink on the appointment was still wet. It is said that Ghukasyan is not inclined to carry out a purge of personnel, but changes will be made.

Meanwhile, Melikset Poghosyan was taken by surprise by the decision regarding his dismissal, despite the fact that the media had been reporting on it for quite some time. Just two days ago, he assured the staff of the governor's office that these were false rumors and that he would continue to work. Yesterday, news also emerged that to avoid offending him, it is intended to appoint him as an advisor to the Ministry of Defense."
