Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan dismissed his two chief advisers and another aide on Thursday. Pashinyan’s executive orders posted on an Armenian government website gave no reasons for the sacking of the advisers, Arsen Gasparyan, Aram Gharibyan, Radio Azatutyun reports.
Gasparyan is a former diplomat who lived in Russia after resigning from the Armenian Foreign Ministry in the late 1990s. He joined Pashinyan’s newly formed staff in July last year.
Gharibyan has held the government position since June 2018. His dismissal will take effect on September 2.
Also fired was an assistant to Pashinyan, Mher Sahakyan. A relevant order signed by the prime minister said Sahakian is relieved of his duties at his own request.
