YEREVAN, November 2. /ARKA/. Armenia’s State Revenue Committee issued a statement Wednesday denying rumors about its chairman, Gagik Khachatryan’s resignation.
“Some media outlets are disseminating an allegation that Gagik Khachatryan, the head of the committee, has resigned,” the committee said in its statement. “We find it necessary to state that nothing like that has happened and these reports have nothing in common with the reality.”
The committee says that the system operates properly and such rumors are being disseminated to affect the committee’s activity and derail reforms.
A day earlier, Armen Arzumanyan, the Armenian president’s spokesman, denied this allegation as well.
In recent days, some changes in personnel were made in Armenia.
Hovik Abrahamyan, National Assembly speaker, resigned yesterday. He will lead Armenian Republicans’ election campaign for the 2012 parliamentary elections.
On Tuesday, President Serzh Sargsyan dismissed the Police Chief Alik Sargsyan appointing Deputy Defence Minister Vladimir Gasparyan to his position.
On Friday, Yerevan Mayor Karen Karapetyan left the office. The ruling Republican Party of Armenia nominated Taron Margaryan, son of former prime minister, Andranik Margaryan, who died in 2007, as candidate for Yerevan mayorship. -0-
