YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 27, ARMENPRESS: President Robert Kocharian relieved on February 25 Armen Gevorkian, 33, of his duties of an aide to the president of Armenia and appointed him chief of his staff.
Previous chief of Kocharian’s staff, Artashes Tumanian, 55, was relieved of his duties on Friday “in accordance with his request’. Local newspapers speculated today that Tumanian’s dismissal might have been related to his plans to run for parliament in 2007 elections. Two weeks ago Tumanian unveiled his new political party, called New Yerkir (New Country), saying he hoped that his party would be represented in the next Armenian government.
The new chief of staff, Armen Gevorkian, is a graduate of a teacher’s training institute in the Russian Orenburg, in Siberia. He also had post-graduate education at a public administration school in the Russian Saint Petersburg and in a university in the Netherlands. He worked as an aide to Kocharian since 1997.
