    Latest Scandal Involving Syunik Governor: Police Await President's Instructions

    Last night, Armenia was rocked with another scandal involving Syunik
    Provincial Governor SourikKhachaturyan.

    As a result of a shoot-out near Khachaturyan's home in Goris, Artak
    Boudaghyan, Commander of the N Artsakh Military Unit, is in serious
    condition and his brother, Avetik, was killed on the spot.

    According to one Goris resident, an argument broke out at a party at
    which Sourik Khachaturyan was present. He then proceeded to curse the
    mother of the Boudaghyan brothers. One of them slapped Khachaturian in
    response.

    The argument then broke out again, in and around Khachaturyan's house.

    Khachaturian is perhaps now in police custody, probably for his own
    safety. But his whereabouts aren't what's really important.

    Everyone is now waiting to see what steps President Sargsyan will
    take. Law enforcement won't make a move without his say-so. The fact
    that Sargsyan hasn't yet made up his mind how to handle the matter is
    apparent from lack of any coverage given by the press under the
    control of the ruling Republican Party. Neither can they `tear'
    Khachaturyan, seen as a party stalwart, to pieces nor can they smear
    Boudaghyan, regarded as a good commander, as a criminal.

    The real question is why does Serzh Sargsyan continue to defend the
    Syunik Governor?

    Perhaps the president should explain his actions to the board members
    of the party who, in the past, have voiced their displeasure with
    Khachaturyan behind closed doors.

    It is quite clear, however, that the time has come for Armenian
    society to find a way to publicly, once and for all, remove
    Khachaturyan from office.
