ArmInfo. Ministers from Orinats Yerkir Party were replaced because
of evident odds between Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan and part of
the political coalition, says Stepan Safaryan, Head of the Hertitage
opposition party faction in the parliament, in an interview with
ArmInfo.
He believes that there are also obvious disagreements between the
Republican prime minister and the other wing of the Republican Party
of Armenia (RPA). "RPA led by President Serzh Sargsyan are concerned
about the fact that Orinats Yerkir party may use its administrative
levers in the spheres it leads and will hereby create problems to the
RPA," the parliamentarian said. He is sure that new ministers from
Orinats Yerkir party are just de-jure members of the given party,
but they are loyal to Serzh Sargsyan.
Earlier, the president replaced Minister for Emergency Situations
Mher Shahgeldyan with Armen Yeristyan, who previously occupied the
position of the first deputy head of the Police. The former head of
the Real Estate Register, Adviser to the President Manuk Vardanyan
is appointed Minister of Transport and Communication replacing Gurgen
Sargsyan (OY PArty).
