The personnel appointments and dismissals in the government are aimed at the involvement of higher-class specialists, effective organization of the government work and the implementation of set goals, as Vahan Hunanyan, Press Secretary of RA Deputy PM Tigran Avinyan, told the NEWS.am in his interview on 22 January responding to the question on the dismissal of Arthur Grigoryan from the office of Head of RA Environmental and Mining Inspection.
In his turn, Government Staff Head Eduard Aghajanyan said in this regard, “Taking into the consideration the fact there is an impression of this decision to be unexpected for Mr. Grigoryan I would like to note that he had been informed about PM’s decision in advance.
I should also add that the office of Inspection Head is an administration office, which is an appointed office where the official ensures effective implementation of the authorities vested on them by the Armenian Constitution and laws and bears responsibility for the implementation of office-related goals and tasks. The Prime Minister can dismiss Inspection Head.”
