Will Syunik Marzpet be fired?
Republican Party MP Lernik Alexanyan condemns the latest scandal that involves Syunik marzpet (regional governor) Suren Khachatryan, saying it is an ugly phenomenon.
"We need to find out the causes of the incident. As you know, a criminal action has been launched on the incident. We cannot judge the sides unless more details are revealed," Alexanyan told A1+ when commenting on the recent incident between Suren Khachatryan and entrepreneur Silva Hambardzumyan during which the marzpet unexpectedly attacked the woman and beat her in the Armenia Marriott Hotel in Yerevan.
Asked whether the RPA was going to dismiss Suren Khachatryan, Alexanyan said, "One can be relieved of his duties for poor work or misconduct. I cannot answer the question until we know more details on the incident."
On November 9, entrepreneur Silva Hambardzumyan announced that Khachatryan had stolen 102 million drams' worth of equipment from her gold mine (Sipan 1). Following the accusations, on November 14, Suren Khachatryan attacked and beat the women in the Armenia Marriott Hotel.
