The source also notes that due to Vayots Dzor Governor A. Grigoryan's failure to provide justified responses to inquiries on two occasions and the non-provision of information regarding bonuses in accordance with legal requirements, a complaint has been filed with the Personal Data Protection Agency of the Ministry of Justice of Armenia, requesting that the competent authority initiate administrative proceedings based on the governor's failure to provide the required information.
