Haykakan Zhamanak: New sports minister starts reshuffle
A series of dismissals began at Armenian Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs yesterday. ‘Haykakan Zhamanak’ daily wrote last week that the newly-appointed sports minister Gabriel Ghazaryan intends to carry out a reshuffle and get rid of persons appointed under former minister Yuri Vardanyan – by the way, these employees are protected by the law on civil service.
“The ‘cadre massacre’ was launched from top: deputy sports minister Nazaret Mnatsakanyan was dismissed yesterday. He is the brother of HHK parliamentary faction deputy Mnatsakan Mnatsakanyan and was appointed as deputy minister during Yuri Vardanyan’s term,” the paper says.
