"168 Hours" paper discusses the resignation of Syunik governor Suren
Khachatrian and the appointment of deputy governor Ara Dolunts as
acting governor of the province. The paper writes citing its sources
that the acting governor Ara Dolunts may become the governor of Syunik
province soon. "In this case, Suren Khachatrian will continue to rule
Syunik because Ara Dolunts is his henchman," the paper writes.
"During his 20-ear activities, Suren Khachatrian has concentrated in
his hands most profitable spheres of economy in the city of Goris and
adjacent areas. He has influence in Synuk thanks to that property. On
June 6 Suren Khachatrian resigned from his post, but he has kept his
property. If the authorities had wanted to punish Suren Khachatrian,
they would have deprived him not only of his post, but also of
property, giving it to the new governor. Yet the authorities cannot
redistribute property in such cases because it will cause discontent
of the elite that likes stability and predictability. Quite the
opposite, the elite is sure that the authorities must protect and
multiply their property," "168 Hours" notes.
