    Yerevan, 11 April: The political forces represented in the parliament
    of Armenia pin certain hopes to the appointment of Tigran Sargsyan
    to the position of prime minister.

    A member of the faction of the Republican Party of Armenia,
    Rafik Petrosyan, said that "Tigran Sargsyan enjoys authority in
    international financial organizations, the opinion of which was taken
    into consideration while choosing the new prime minister".

    Secretary of the opposition Heritage party faction Stepan Safaryan
    singled out Tigran Sargsyan's constructiveness and readiness for
    dialogue, which he demonstrated back when occupying the position of
    chairman of the Central Bank. At that the MP expressed the doubt that
    the new prime minister would manage to compare the efforts of all the
    four participants in the ruling coalition. The Heritage representative
    stated that he expected serious changes in the law-enforcement bloc
    of the new government.

    Member of the Orinats Yerkir faction Mher Shahgeldyan stated that
    Tigran Sargsyan is an administrative professional and expressed
    the hope that the new prime minister would manage to realize planned
    large-scale reforms. According to Shahgeldyan, by the end of this week,
    the composition of the new government would become known.

    Head of the Dashnaktsutyun parliamentary faction Hrayr Karapetyan
    stated that "time is ripe for structural changes in the government
    and that consultations with the president and the prime minister will
    show how the ministerial portfolios will be distributed".

    Member of the Prosperous Armenia faction Naira Zohrabyan stated that
    the issue of appointing the prime minister is the prerogative of the
    Republican Party of Armenia and that their party had demonstrated "work
    attitude" towards the decision of the president and the RPA council.

    "Time will show how expedient the appointment of Tigran Sargsyan for
    the given position was," she stated, noting that Prosperous Armenia
    counts on preserving all its ministerial portfolios.
