"Fact". Araik Harutyunyan will finally reach the goal. who will be appointed head of the SATM?

"Fact" daily writes: "According to our information, the head of the RA Food Safety Inspection Authority, Armen Hayrapetyan, will be dismissed from his job. Although it will be formulated as dismissal "according to his own application", according to our sources, he was simply "suggested" to write an application and leave silently.

According to "Past" newspaper, Armen Danielyan, the deputy head of the coordination office of the inspection bodies of the prime minister's office, will be appointed to that position instead, who is considered by the government to be the "cadre" of the head of the prime minister's office Araik Harutyunyan. Danielyan once worked in the office of coordinating the work of inspection bodies as the head of the department, but as our government source mentioned, he failed, to put it mildly, and was fired.

However, after the appointment of Arayik Harutyunyan as the head of the Prime Minister's staff, Armen Danielyan returned to the structure as the deputy head of the office, with the mediation of his assistant Ashot Arushanyan. One of our interlocutors mentioned that he started to "dig under" his boss, Artur Asoyan, in the hope that he will be appointed head of the office. Asoyan, after all, in 2022 he was dismissed from his job on October 3, after which Daniel Yan was the acting head in the presence of the previously appointed deputy, but he was not appointed head of the office. As a result, according to our information, he started working against the head of the RA Food Safety Inspection Authority, Georgi Avetisyan, with the same ambitions.

The latter was dismissed in 2023. on January 27. However, despite Araik Harutyunyan's efforts, Nikol Pashinyan did not approve Armen Daniel Yan's candidacy, which, according to our sources, made the latter extremely upset and depressed. Nevertheless, Daniel Yan did not "surrender" and started working against the newly appointed head of the Security Council, Armen Hayrapetyan. Now, it seems, Araik Harutyunyan has achieved final "success", and in the near future, his "cadre", Armen Danielyan, will be appointed head of the SATM.
