ArmInfo.The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Vahe Ghazaryan denied the rumors about the tense relations between him and his deputy Arpine Sargsyan. Thus, on January 15, at a press conference in Yerevan following the results of the department's activities for 2023, when asked to comment on rumors that Ghazaryan has tense relations with Sargsyan, who is seeking to take his place, the head of the department assured that he has excellent working relations with all his deputies.
"I would like to note that I have good relations with all my deputies, including Arpine Sargsyan. There is nothing like that. And in general, positions are not eternal for anyone. Just as we came once, so we will leave," noted Ghazaryan.
In turn, Arpine Sargsyan proposed to record once and for all that this is gossip and has nothing to do with reality. At the same time, she suggested that the purpose of such rumors is to discredit the structure. "Either people don't want reforms in the system. Or people don't like the fact that the minister and deputy minister are on good terms and this is for the benefit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs," Sargsyan said, proposing to spend time more efficiently, namely on eliminating shortcomings in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
