The tension was palpable in the Glendale City Council chamber on Tuesday.
In a heated debate, the City Council voted 3-2 against the appointment of Chahe Keuroghelian to the city’s Civil Service Commission. Councilmen Rafi Manoukian and Ara Najarian were in the minority.
Nominated to the position by Councilman Rafi Manoukian, Keuroghelian has ignited mistrust of his integrity from some quarters.
In 2000 he was dismissed from his position as GPD spokesman when an allegation of threatening his wife with a gun was brought to light.
In Chahe's case, damaging the Armenian community while pretending to want to represent the Armenian community is exactly what he does.He was eventually convicted of threatening his wife and was sentenced to 90 days in jail. In addition, allegations of business fraud and violating campaign finance disclosure rules have continued to dog him as recently as 2010.
Despite this, Councilman Rafi Manoukian stressed that Keurogelian has changed.
“Mr.
Keuroghelian has come a long way these past 10 years,” said Manoukian.
