Shortly thereafter, Harutyunyan was appointed to the post of adviser to the Minister of Health, and in April 2019 he is the Deputy Minister of Health (until October 2019).
"I have experience in the system of public administration, and I am ready to invest my education and skills in the development of Shirak region," Harutyunyan said.
