YEREVAN. - Armenia's National Assembly (NA) Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan
will soon sack Vrezh Gasparyan, the current NA Chief of Staff, albeit
the latter had stated they cannot dismiss him.
Reliable sources have informed Armenian News-NEWS.am that the new
potential candidates for this job are NA Deputy Chief of Staff Tatul
Soghomonyan, and Head of the Presidential Control Service, Hovhannes
Hovsepyan.
To note, Vrezh Gasparyan was appointed NA Chief of Staff by former NA
Speaker Samvel Nikoyan, during whose tenure Gasparyan was promoted to
three higher positions within five months.
Reflecting on the news about his possible sacking and responding to
the query as to whether he could be transferred to another job, Vrezh
Gasparyan had said: `They cannot.'
Incidentally, the position of the NA Chief of Staff is discretionary
and not a public servant's job.
