Shushi Administrative Head Vardan Gabrielyan was dismissed from his post today according to a directive of the NKR government. He will be replaced by current Stepanakert Deputy Mayor Georgi Hayrikyan.

At the government session, NKR Prime Minister Arayik Harutyunyan also reported that proceeds from this year's All Armenia Fund tele-marathon will be earmarked for redevelopment projects in Shushi.
