Gnel Sanosyan Set to Receive New and Higher Position

According to our sources, Gegharkunik Governor Gnel Sanosyan is soon expected to be promoted. Our sources in the ruling Civil Contract party reported that Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is preparing to appoint Sanosyan as the Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructures, replacing Suren Papikyan, as reported by Hraparak.am.

We attempted to confirm this information with Gnel Sanosyan, but he did not respond to our phone calls or messages. The Gegharkunik regional administration also did not respond to calls, nor did Prime Minister’s spokesperson Mane Gevorgyan or the press secretary of the Civil Contract party, Vahe Aleksanyan.
