Armenian media disseminated information on National Olympic Committee (ARMNOC) president Gagik Tsarukyan’s intention to send in resignation.

Oligarch Samvel Aleksanyan is rumored to replace him on the post.

In conversation with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, the Committee’s depute president Derenik Gabrielyan dubbed the media reports as mere rumors.

“Tsarukyan has no such plans. We are getting ready for the Olympic Games,” Mr. Gabrielyan said.
