Zhoghovurd: Reason of Deputy Energy Minister’s dismissal kept secret

Armenian Deputy Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Hovsep Shahinyan was relieved of his post yesterday. The reason of his dismissal is kept secret. According to the decision of Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan, Shahinyan was relieved of his post “at his own request.”

“Shahinyan is a member of Orinats Yerkir Party. It is noteworthy that he was appointed to that post only in 2013. So, a deputy minister from Orinats Yerkir failed to serve on that position for even one year,” Zhoghovurd writes.
