Hraparak: Tigran Barseghian may be appointed NSS first deputy director
According to well-informed sources, the dismissal of first deputy director of Armenia’s National Security Service (NSS) Romik Harutyunian opens a series of personnel and other reforms in that structure, ‘Hraparak’ paper says.
We would remind you that prior to constitutional reforms, some ‘corrections’ will be made and committees set up in the government system.
While the NSS director was abroad, R. Harutyunian reportedly received important information about a political force, but he did not inform his superiors about that. This resulted in his dismissal.
The new first deputy of NSS will be appointed by mid February, according to sources close to NSS. Tigran Barseghian, a young general, is mentioned as a likely candidate.
