YEREVAN. – Chorrord Inknishkhanutyun daily asked Armenia’s Education and Science Minister Armen Ashotyan as to whom he will appoint as the new State Language Inspectorate Chief.  

“He said we will know within the prescribed period of time as to whom he will prefer. According to our information, however, former [ruling coalition’s Rule of Law Party] RLP member Sergo Yeritsyan will be reappointed to the office of the State Language Inspectorate Chief. We can assume that [this] decision was imposed from the very high echelons [of power]. So, continue to take civil service competitions seriously, because it is not that important whether or not you have won that competition. What’s important is the presence of an ‘influential acquaintance,’” Chorrord Inknishkhanutyun writes.
