Two months after his appointment as Governor of Armenia's Kotayk
region, Aram Harutyunyan does not yet know possess definite information
on migration and poverty rates in the region.
"If you want concrete figures, I can ask my subordinates to provide
you with all of the information you need. At this moment, I do not
possess any information," Mr Harutyunyan said on Wednesday.
Nor could the governor say anything about the standard of living of the
region's population. He only stressed that people pay taxes in time.
"I cannot assess people's living conditions at the moment. The
assessment is given by people," said the governor.
Anyway, Aram Harutyunyan does not think that the quality of life has
deteriorated in Armenia: during his visits to different communities
he talked to people and they voiced their complaints and problems.
"People feel free to speak about their problems and concerns," he said.
Mayor of Charentsavan town [in Kotayk region] Hakob Shahgeldyan,
the son of former governor of Kotayk region Kovalenko Shahgaldyan,
has been in office for 6 years, but he could not present figures on
migration either. "No one will give you such figures," he said.
Hakob Shahgeldyan has observed a big inflow of people from Yerevan and
other regions to his town which has three working factories. "They
sell their apartments in Yerevan and other regions and move to
Charentsavan," said the mayor.
Hakob Shahgeldyan refrained from commenting on his relations with
the new governor.
