MOSCOW, August 1 (RIA Novosti) - Mikhail Pogosyan, director general of the Sukhoi Aircraft Holding Company, has resigned his post as the head of the Sukhoi Design Bureau, the company said in a statement Wednesday.
The Sukhoi Design Bureau's board of directors accepted Pogosyan's resignation at a July 30 meeting, citing the official's desire to focus on managing the Sukhoi Aircraft Holding Company.
Pogosyan currently holds several posts, including board member of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC), a majority state-owned corporation consolidating aircraft-building companies and state assets engaged in the manufacture, design, and sale of military, non-military, transport, and unmanned aircraft.
The board also appointed Igor Ozar as managing director of the Sukhoi Design Bureau starting July 31.
The bureau is part of the Sukhoi Aircraft Holding Company, which is 100% state-owned.
