There are rumors that the former head of the National Tax Service, Felix Tsolakyan, resigned in order to be appointed head of the National Security Service. Let’s remind that Tsolakyan was a former senior KGB agent. When talking to us on the phone, Tsolakyan denied those rumors, saying “What new position are we talking about? I have already been appointed to a new job.” Right after his resignation, he was appointed advisor to the president. As response to the question of why he had resigned, he said that he had made that decision himself. According to other rumors, Vahram Barseghyan was appointed new head of the National Tax Service in order to ensure the increase of pensions by 60%, as promised by the government. Tsolakyan agrees that the promise of the government may come true.
