Qualified to Serve?: President’s new chief of staff faces criticism over lack of military service

The man appointed by President Kocharyan as his new chief of staff is not qualified by law to hold the position, according to the head of an organization representing former members of the National Assembly.

Armen Gevorgyan, 33, was named the head of the presidential staff last month after the surprise resignation of Artashes Tumanyan to pursue a political career. Gevorgyan has worked as an aide to Kocharyan since the latter’s appointment as Prime Minister of Armenia in 1997.
