There are regular elections for the president of the NAOC Weightlifting Federation, and after 8 years in office, the president Hrach Rostomyan, who is also the general secretary of the NAOC, the president of the Basketball Federation, and previously was also the Minister of Sports and Youth Affairs of Armenia, refuses to run for the 3rd time.
Why does Gagik Tsarukyan leave the post of president of Olympic sports vacant, especially since Armenia has great success in this sport?of Euromedia24in the conversation, Hrach Rostomyan said that he voluntarily leaves his duties and does not want to continue, just because of the workload.
Actively circulating information that Rostomyan is being forced by the government not to run for that position, because the head of the Prime Minister's Office, founding member of the Communist Party Araik Harutyunyan dreams of it, Rostomyan responded with a laugh that no one met him, no calls or solicitations. received and does not want to talk about other people's ambitions.
Let's remind that these days the press often refers to Araik Harutyunyan on various topics, from corruption schemes related to people around him to seemingly unbelievable aspirations in the sports field.
Let's note that his aspirations to become the president of the federation are being talked about and discussed in a narrow environment, but there have been no reactions or public criticisms from the weightlifting champions.
By the way, after studying the biography of Arayik Harutyunyan, Pashinyan's teammate, who is the alleged contender for the post of weightlifter, we noticed that he does not have any lines related to sports in his biography.
