Gegharkunik Regional Governor Nver Poghosyan is planning to sue the
Zhoghovourd newspaper for slander.
The paper ran a piece today claiming that Poghosyan pocketed a $3,000
bribe in return for proclaiming a certain individual as the winner in
a local competition to fill the post of history teacher in the village
of Tutujur.
The paper says the allegation was made by another candidate for the post.
An official statement from the Gegharkunik Regional Authority
(Marzpetaran) says that it has no knowledge of such a competition
other than the fact that the principal of the Tutujur High School had
previously announced a teaching vacancy.
The Authority says that the principal violated procedure regarding the
vacancy competition and that disciplinary action had been taken.
