Members of Armenia's ruling Republican Party, Eduard Sharmazanov
and Ermine Nagdalian, have been elected as deputy speakers of the
country's parliament.
Sharmazanov was elected to this post in a 91-11 vote, and Nagdalian
in an 89-10 vote.
A total of 102 deputies cast their ballots in the elections.
Sharmazanov, 37, and Nagdalian, 52, were nominated as parliament deputy
speakers at a session of the executive body of the Republican Party,
which is led by President Serzh Sargsyan, on Wednesday.
Sharmazanov, who is the party's press secretary, first became the
parliament's deputy speaker in December 2011.
Nagdalian has been a member of Armenia's parliament since 1995. She
previously chaired the parliamentary commission for financial, credit,
budget and economic issues.
Ovik Abraamian, 54, was elected the new speaker of Armenia's
parliament earlier on Thursday. He previously held this post from
2008 to November 2011.
The Republican Party won 44.05% of the vote in a parliamentary election
on May 6, which guaranteed its majority at the parliament and enabled
it to form a new government on its own.
The faction of the Armenian National Congress led by former President
Levon Ter-Petrosian is not taking part in the first parliamentary
session.
The faction of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation Dashnaktsutyun
did not take part in the elections of the parliament speaker.
