Prior to this, the site wrote that Speaker Alen Simonyan had signed a new decision, appointing a new head of the Protocol Department of the Parliament's staff. This position was previously held by Hakob Haji-Hakobyan.

“We had mentioned his past on December 8. Specifically, we wrote that he has a criminal conviction; in 2013, while serving as the head of the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia, he was convicted for receiving bribes (for issuing visas in exchange for money) and sentenced to two years in prison.

It should be noted that Haji-Hakobyan's daughter, who is engaged to Deputy Speaker Ruben Rubinyan, also works in the parliament in the Department of Foreign Relations. Thus, Alen Simonyan has dismissed the father-in-law of Deputy Speaker Ruben Rubinyan,” the site noted.
