New Authority to be Headed by Sasun Khachatryan

The newspaper 'Joghvorud' reports: 'As it is known, a new Anti-Corruption Committee will soon be established, which will replace the Special Investigative Service and will serve as a unified investigative body. 'Joghvorud' learned that initially, the authorities aimed to merge this structure with the Commission for the Prevention of Corruption, which will replace the Commission on Ethics for High-Ranking Officials. However, following discussions, they concluded that these organizations have different functions and should not be conflated.

Moreover, it seems that the authorities have finally decided on the head of the newly created body. Initially, it was stated that the head of the Special Investigative Service, Sasun Khachatryan, would not lead the committee, but 'Joghvorud' learned that subsequent discussions have led to his selection for the position.'
