Why Gevorg Danielyan?
According to some sources, Minister of Justice Gevorg Danielyan has been dismissed by Serzh Sargsyan's decree. The official decree will most probably be released in the morning.
There are no motives, but there are two decrees that the Minister signed a couple of hours before his dismissal and they are posted on the Ministry's official website.
Both decrees are related to General Compulsory Executor of Judicial Acts of the Ministry of Justice Mihran Poghosyan. According to one of them, one of the latter's decrees was declared invalid, while he was fined and given a strict warning for wrong line of conduct as a compulsory executor of judicial acts based on the other decree.
It is hard to say how these are related to each other. According to press releases, Mihran Poghosyan has friendly ties with Serzh Sargsyan.
The decree that was declared invalid was related to bringing Head of the Department of Staff Management of the Judicial Acts Compulsory Enforcement Service, Justice Colonel Ruben Mirakyan back to office after he was dismissed by Mihran Poghosyan on November 3. Presses released information according to which Mihran Poghosyan had beaten Ruben Mirakyan before dismissal. Perhaps this was the fact that served as a basis for Danielyan giving Mihran Poghosyan a warning.
As to why he is back after a month is a little unclear. It is possibly linked to the president's press speaker Armen Arzumanyan's announcement following the incident with the participation of Gagik Beglaryan and the resignation in which Arzumanyan stated: "The RA President has expressed his clear position on such acts several times. This behavior is inacceptable and intolerable, especially in the case of a state official."
P.S. But if the news about the Minister's resignation is confirmed by morning, it can be said that it is possible and tolerable in the case of a friend.
Rumor has it that knowing about what was "to come" in advance, the Minister took the opportunity and finally gave a warning to Mihran Poghosyan.
