“I cannot say anything bad about the Chief of Police, because he himself stated that he had not been informed. However, it turns out that he was actually promoted, taken to the President of the Republic of Armenia and appointed the Deputy Chief of Staff. Nevertheless, until everything is clear, I don’t know what to say, no comment”, said Rafik Petrosyan, an RPA MP and deputy chairman of the parliamentary standing commission on Human Rights Protection and Public Affairs, at “Aravot’s” request to comment on the change of the mayor and chief of police. “As for the mayor, it is natural that they should appoint the new one, if the old one resigned and Taron Margaryan has been the head of district for a long while, he has worked for the City Hall for two years, he is experienced, smart, he has the ability and is the representative of the ruling Republican Party and it is logical that he was nominated for the election. We only have to wait and see how he will work. I think he will work well.”
