Vayots Dzor Governor Has Not Found It Necessary to Apologize; Should Have Resigned

Chairman of the Television and Radio Commission Tigran Hakobyan has addressed the incident of the governor's assistant beating a lieutenant colonel on his Facebook page, stating, "The Governor of Vayots Dzor should have already submitted his resignation. Regardless of whether he participated in the beating or was at home drinking tea at that moment. Regardless of whether the intoxicated lieutenant colonel provoked the beating or it was the governor's assistant who initiated it. Regardless of whether there has been a wave of public discontent or the incident is only known to the residents of Vayk.

This is one of the unwritten laws of bureaucracy in civilized countries: to take responsibility for the actions of your subordinates. But it seems that the governor has not found it necessary to even apologize to the residents of the region and the family of the victim. Today, this institution of voluntary resignation by officials should function," he wrote.
