Armenia`s former president, Robert Kocharian, is likely to begin a
new career working for a telecommunication company, Russian media
reported. He has been nominated to the Board of Directors of AFK
Sistema, a major Russian telephone company. A source from the company
has confirmed the report, saying 13 people have been nominated to
membership on the Board. The final make-up of the board will be
approved by shareholders on June 27.
Kocharian has been jobless since being succeeded as Armenian
president by Serzh Sarkisian. Some time ago it was reported that he
was considering a career with Russia`s gas giant, Gazprom.
