The Armenian press reports that today a scramble has started for
the vacant position of the Speaker of parliament. The most probable
candidate is Vice-Speaker Samvel Nikoyan whom the prime minister
supports, and the Republican Member of Parliament Hermine Naghdalyan
whom Hovik Abrahamyan supports.
The Hraparak Daily reported that Samvel Nikoyan loves alcohol drinks
and often goes our for a drink with journalists. Members of Hermine
Naghdalyan's Norashen Cooperative accuse her of being a usurer
depriving people of the apartments they bought in this new building.
It is interesting. The prime minister who also likes to get a drink
or two and follows his grandfather's wise advice not to make friends
with teetotallers supports Samvel Nikoyan. Hovik Abrahamyan supports
someone who is accused of being a usurer.
Yesterday the prime minister said he has no conflicts with Hovik
Abrahamyan. Believing the PM's words, they need to do everything not
to cause a conflict over the election of speaker considering that
the new speaker will hold this office for a couple of months. Hence,
both Hermine Naghdalyan and Samvel Nikoyan could be simultaneously
appointed to the post of speaker. A similar precedent already exists
in Armenia. The UK has two ambassadors in Armenia. They are a married
couple, of course, but Samvel and Hermine are both Republicans,
ideological friends. Just like Tigran and Hovik.
