A resident of Kalavan village in Armenia’s Gegharkunik Province, Robert Ghukasyan will be appointed Advisor to Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, the PM himself revealed on Facebook.

“Kalavan’s resident Robert Ghukasyan and I agreed that he will end his current activities within one or two months and will be appointed Advisor to the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia with a mission to share the experience of Kalavan village in other Armenian villages,” Pashinyan said.

The PM, who is currently on vacation, visited the village on Wednesday, presenting the successes achieved through Ghukasyan's personal efforts.

In a Facebook live video, the villager talked about the development of rural communities, expressing conviction there is no village which lacks resources for development.

In 2017 then Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan was also inspired by Ghukasyan's rural development program and tasked the government to assist its implementation.
