Capital: Armenia's highest paid official's appointment unlawful
10:52 - 04.06.11
The paper says that Armenia's Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan appointed
Armen Khachatryan as the new head of the National Competitiveness
Foundation of Armenia (NCFA), claiming the appointment is a violation
of the law.
The daily explains that according to the regulations of the foundation
and the existing law the activities of the foundation are conducted by
the head of the foundation that is appointed to this position or
dismissed from it by the Board of Trustees.
Further, the paper presumes that there may be a misreading of the law
and that PM Sargsyan may have based his decision on the section of the
law that says that such appointment can for the first time be made
also by the founder, in this case the government.
But the point is, the paper explains, that the government already used
this right in 2008 by appointing Gayane Afrikyan as NCFA chief upon
its establishment.
The NCFA head in Armenia receives 6,2 million drams (approx. $14,450)
in salaries - the highest in Armenia.
