NEW MAYOR TO BE TOUGH WITH HEADS OF DISTRICT ADMINISTRATIONS
Tert.am
17.12.10
Mayor-elect Karen Karapetyan promised to be tough with the heads
of Yerevan's district administrations, conducting in the meantime a
flexible human resource policy.
"There are no plans for massive dismissals for now. But there
will be stricter rules and requirements for the heads of district
administration, and only those who comply with them will remain in
office," he told a news conference on Friday.
Karapetyan promised that both Yerevan residents and tourists will be
satisfied with the new municipal administration system.
He also spoke about his plans to introduce his new programs and urban
development projects, promising to conduct transparent activities
with the public, municipality staff and the Council of Elders.
Asked by Tert.am about his new appointment, he said he didn't expect
to be nominated for Yerevan mayor. He also expressed his positive
attitude to the Republican Party, adding in the meantime that he is
a non-partisan and has no plans to join the party's ranks at present.
Karapetyan also appreciated former mayor Gagik Beglaryan's efforts
to improve the capital.
"I find Gagik Bgelaryan's efforts very successful. Anyone assuming
the duties of mayor must probably continue the activities of his
predecessor," he said.
As former general director of Hayrusgazard company, he also praised
the company, considering it one of Armenia's best enterprises.
"I think anyone holding a managing position needs from time to time
to change his field to take a fresh glance at things," he said.
Karapetyan also confirmed the reports on the plans to appoint
Hayrusgazard Deputy Assistant Vardan Harutyunyan to the post of
general director.
