"Zhoghovurd": And who is the father of Hasmik Hakobyan from "Half-Open Windows"?

The “Zhoghovurd” daily writes: “Yesterday, during a discussion in the National Assembly, the ruling party MP Hasmik Hakobyan announced from the podium that the opposition MP Anna Grigoryan should reveal where her father works.


In response, Anna Grigoryan clarified that her father has been a middle-level civil servant all his life and continues to work in the system and is subjected to various pressures. The MP also emphasized that recently various pressures have been exerted on her family. According to her, her brother, who has served in the state system for many years, was simply dismissed from his job because of his oppositional political position.


Against the background of these statements, the “Zhoghovurd” daily reminds us who the ruling party MP Hasmik Hakobyan is, her father, and how she reached the parliament.


Let us inform you that before joining the ruling team, Hasmik Hakobyan in 2014-2015 worked as a scriptwriter-journalist for the “A TV” TV company in the “Half-Open Windows” program. Then, as a clerk at the European Regional Academy founded by Artur Baghdasaryan, which has been written about many times. Later, she was involved in the media campaigns of the “Orinats Yerkir” party and worked as a de facto party propagandist on the party’s H3 TV channel.


After the change in political events, Hakobyan became a propagandist for the “Civil Contract” party, working on the news website of a famous businessman. Later, she also worked as an assistant to the Deputy Chairman of the National Assembly, Alen Simonyan. Then, when Alen Simonyan became the Speaker of the National Assembly, Hakobyan and her friends made progress.


It was during that period, perhaps using her closeness to the Speaker of the National Assembly, Hasmik Hakobyan employed a number of acquaintances and relatives in the parliament, about whom Zhoghovurd has long written https://armlur.am/1297243/.


Let us recall that her father, Armen Hakobyan, who had never worked anywhere before, was hired in the motor transport department of the administrative and economic department of the National Assembly. He also distributes gasoline coupons.


In addition, her relative Nina Hakobyan was hired by NA Speaker Alen Simonyan as a clerk, and her sister’s husband, Varo, became Alen Simonyan’s driver.


With Hasmik Hakobyan’s intervention, several people from her circle were also hired at the parliamentary medical station, including nurse Lilit Ohanyan. And Mari Stepanyan was appointed head of the legal support and service department.


Thus, in the case of a government MP who is interested in the employment of an opposition MP’s family, questions already arise about his political biography and the personnel appointments formed in the parliament, which should be handled by law enforcement officers. “You were rejecting the National Health Service.”
