Head of the Chief Constitutional Order Protection and Anti-Terror
Department of the National Security Service of Armenia Tigran Barsegyan
was dismissed a few days ago, reports the Haykakan Zhamanak newspaper.
As far as the newspaper knows, Barsegyan's department has been engaged
in tapping the opposition's phone calls and collecting data on them.
Some sources say Bersegyan was dismissed because he was aware of a
prepared palace coup but failed to report that to his chief.
Other sources believe that Barsegyan is just a scapegoat in this story
as he informed Director of the NSS Gorik Hakobyan about the coup but
the latter failed to pass the information to President Serzh Sargsyan.
Spokesman of the NSS Artsvin Bagramyan has not refuted the
information. He just said that changes inside the service were not
subject to publicity.
