Who Will be Appointed as Minister of Internal Affairs?

The ruling 'Civil Contract' faction is still in discussions about who will be appointed as the newly formed Minister of Internal Affairs. This is reported by 'Zhoghovurd' daily.

'As it is known, the Police and the Ministry of Emergency Situations will merge to create the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Since the talks about the establishment of this structure, various names have been circulated for this position, including that of Minister of Environment Hakob Simidyan. However, it seems that the ruling team is inclined to make a different decision since there are complaints regarding Hakob Simidyan's work and new revelations have emerged. In the near future, 'Zhoghovurd' daily will present more details on this matter.

According to our information, the authorities currently see the Chief of Police Vahe Ghazaryan as the Minister of Internal Affairs. Although he is not a public figure, and it is difficult to imagine how he would speak from the podium during Q&A sessions at the National Assembly-Government, discussions within the Civil Contract party are currently focusing on Ghazaryan. The position of Chief of Police will likely be filled by Aram Hovhannisyan, Vahe Ghazaryan’s first deputy. However, there is still no final decision,' writes the newspaper.
