having been appointed the Minister of Education and Science by the
RA President's May 17 decree. NA Deputy Speaker, ARF Bureau member

Gegham Manukian, the head of the information and political programs
of the "Yerkir-Media" TV company, who is the regular next candidate
of the proportional list of the party. According to V.Hovhannisian,
the issue of election of the new head of the parliamentary faction

not pretend at present on posts of the chairmen of the parliamentary
standing committees to remain vacant soon, "though it has a candidate
for any post." As for undertaking new posts as a result of the last
re-arrangements in the executive power, then the ARF "is ready for
that responsibility, both in the sense of staff and experience, and
