Vayots Dzor governor works despite promise to resign after scandalous developments
Recently governor of Armenia’s Vayots Dzor region Trdat Sargsyan released a statement announcing about resignation following the incident with allegedly his and his friends’ involvement.
Aysor.am did not manage to establish contact with Sargsyan, but a reception official said the governor is going to work.
“He is not here now,” the official said.
Asked whether in general he comes to work, the official said, “It depends, there was a delegation he met them.”
The governor and his friends are said to be involved in fight as a result of which an officer, deputy colonel of Armenia’s Armed Forces Ara Mkhitaryan was transported to hospital in unconscious condition. His life is in danger.
In his resignation statement Sargsyan denied his involvement, saying he was at home that time and presented proofs to the law enforcers.
The incident took place on September 17 close to midnight. The suspect, resident of Yeghegnadzor, born in 1991, hit once with fist in the head of the officer. The latter fell unconscious.
A criminal case has been filed. The preliminary investigation revealed that another two officers of the same military unit received injuries.
