"The government does not want to leave Avet Poghosyan, the former district head, a loyal CP member, without a position. By the decision of RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Avet Poghosyan was released from the position of Deputy Minister of High-Tech Industry from July 3. But even after this, Poghosyan did not stay without a position for long. On the agenda of the session starting today is also the issue of the election of a member of the National Assembly, and Avet Poghosyan is the only nominated candidate for the position of a member of the National Assembly. While studying the biography of Avet Poghosyan, we notice that he did not have any activity in the field of journalism. Article 197 of the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia defines the composition and procedure of formation of the Television and Radio Commission. Paragraph 3 of the article defines: "Anyone who has a higher education, who meets the requirements for a deputy, who is a reputable specialist in the field of mass media can be elected a member of the Television and Radio Commission. The law may set additional requirements for the members of the commission." Although anyone can apply for the position of deputy without professional discrimination, and the law defines the procedure for the selection of a member of the National Assembly, there is still a clear point that the member of the National Assembly must comply with, that is to be a "reputable specialist in the field of mass media". and it is no secret that Avet Poghosyan has nothing to do with television or radio. According to the press, he drove a taxi in the USA before the revolution. In fact, this taxi driver has a high reputation among the journalists and media of KP. Let's remember that in June, 2 candidates were presented for the post of member of the National Assembly: Zara Aramyan and the not so famous Gohar Muradyan. The CP rejected both of them. Let's also recall the scandalous story with which Avet Poghosyan left the post of deputy minister. According to the news that reached us from the government, when the Hayasat-1 satellite was sent into space from the US Vandenberg air base by the Falcon-9 rocket of the SpaceX company, then also "Armsat-1", they became a problem for the field coordinator Poghosyan. The thing is that according to various experts, the satellites sent into space have become a plague on the satellites of other countries, disrupting the operation of many countries' satellites or part of their programs. And here, RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan was sent letters from the governments of different countries (the list is being clarified, we will publish it later), urging him to bring down the satellite/s, because the work, quality and launch were unprofessional and uncalculated. Governments have claimed that the failure of their satellites was registered precisely because of Hayasat. This is perhaps why Avet Poghosyan was simply removed from the Ministry of High-Tech Industry, but no other sanction was applied for the failure. Avet Poghosyan, "Zhoghovurd" In a conversation with the daily newspaper, he said in response to this information. "First of all, I was not fired, especially for serious reasons. As for the "Hayasat 1" satellite, it is a private initiative that has a relationship with the state and the ministry only to the extent that it has received a space activity license from the state in accordance with the law. And if you mean the "Armsat 1" satellite belonging to the RA, it continues its work normally, as it was planned from the beginning. None of your information is true." Let's remind that Avet Poghosyan is the civil husband of NA CP member Arusyak Julhakyan."
