Suren Papikyan interfered in the personnel policy of Kotayk region:  the Governor submitted his resignation

ArmInfo. The governor of the Kotayk region of Armenia, Mesrop Mesropyan, has submitted his resignation due to disagreement with the personnel policy in his region.   Mesropyan stated this on May 27 after a government meeting, during  which the decision to release the head of the region was approved.

"In connection with this appointment, the higher management offered  me something that was unacceptable for me and I just adhered to my  principles," he explained, pointing out that the disagreement was  with the acting Minister of Territorial Administration and  Infrastructures Suren Papikyan. According to Mesropyan, he submitted  his resignation on May 10.

At the same time, he refrained from making further comments,  referring to the pre-election period and unwillingness to become part  of political speculation.

To recall,  Mesrop Mesropyan took over the leadership of the region  on December 26, 2020 after Romanos Petrosyan was dismissed from the  post of Governor of Kotayk on June 30, and was appointed Minister of  Nature Protection. Prior to that, Mesropyan was a member of the  Public Services Regulatory Commission and resigned to take up the  post of governor of the region.  It should be noted that Aharon  Sahakyan was appointed governor of Kotayk region by today's  government decision.
