Chorrord Ishkhanutyun: Armen Movsisyan may become Syunik governor
‘Chorrord Ishkhanutyun’ paper says that political elite of Armenia is actively discussing the likely candidates for the vacant post of Syunik province governor. The paper writes citing its sources that in addition to the name of ex-governor Suren Khachatryan, another candidate who is a native of Syunik – presidential advisor, former Armenian minister of energy and natural resources Armen Movsisyan has been mentioned.
“They say that not only Movsisyan, but also influential members of the Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) are not against his appointment as Syunik governor. Yet HHK members decline to comment on this issue: they are waiting for Serzh Sargsyan’s return. In all likelihood the issue of new governor of Syunik province will be finally decided at the HHK Council sitting scheduled for Saturday,” the paper says.
