ArmInfo. Head of Armenian National Assembly Staff Hayk Kotanyan and
Head of Public Relations Office Anahit Adamyan are dismissed.

A source in the parliament told ArmInfo Kotanyan and Adamyan signed
an advance notice on 14 January. The reason of their leaving was
the secret letter Parliamentary Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan sent to
the Parliamentary Speakers of PACE member-states asking them not to
deprive Armenia of vote in the course of PACE Winter Session. However,
a few days ago, that letter was published in some local media. The
letter was written by A. Adamyan with gross mistakes, which aroused
dissatisfaction of the speaker. H. Kotanyan will be replaced by Deputy
Foreign Minister of Armenia Gegham Gharibjanyan.

Local economist Tatul Manaseryan will be appointed Deputy Foreign
Minister.
