    YEREVAN. - Armenia's National Assembly (NA) Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan
    will soon sack Vrezh Gasparyan, the current NA Chief of Staff, albeit
    the latter had stated they cannot dismiss him.

    Reliable sources have informed Armenian News-NEWS.am that the new
    potential candidates for this job are NA Deputy Chief of Staff Tatul
    Soghomonyan, and Head of the Presidential Control Service, Hovhannes
    Hovsepyan.

    To note, Vrezh Gasparyan was appointed NA Chief of Staff by former NA
    Speaker Samvel Nikoyan, during whose tenure Gasparyan was promoted to
    three higher positions within five months.

    Reflecting on the news about his possible sacking and responding to
    the query as to whether he could be transferred to another job, Vrezh
    Gasparyan had said: `They cannot.'

    Incidentally, the position of the NA Chief of Staff is discretionary
    and not a public servant's job.
