ArmInfo. The Minister of Health of Armenia Arsen Torosyan revealed the real reasons for the disruption of his press conference today by oncologist Gevorg Tamamyan. According to the minister, the actions of Tamamyan were directly coordinated and controlled by the rector of Yerevan State Medical University named after Heratsi Armen Muradyan.
<Muradyan, who received the post of rector of the university in the blat from the previous authorities, was very worried after the change of power. He is afraid of losing this position, and began a campaign against me, which has been going on for a year now. It all started with the fact that we tried to change the composition of the Board of Trustees of the university. In addition, as a result of inspections of the State Inspection Service, various abuses were revealed in the activities of the university. In particular, it turned out that the university purchased stents for the heart for 250 thousand drams apiece, while their market value was 110 thousand drams. In addition, cases of making inappropriate purchases, bonuses to high- ranking university employees in the amount of 8-9 million drams were revealed. Probably worried that the revealed abuses would lead to his resignation, Muradyan launched a campaign against me, part of which was today's show with the participation of oncologists Tamamyan>, the minister explained.
It should be noted that today a children's oncologist, former adviser to Torosyan, Gevorg Tamamyan, with his presence, disrupted the minister's press conference. He began to ask him questions, in response Torosyan left the conference hall. After that, Tamamyan himself took the chair intended for Torosyan and voiced a series of accusations against the minister.
