HERITAGE REPRESENTATIVE DENIES MEDIA REPORT ON NEW 'HOVANNISIAN CABINET'
Vote 2013 | 13.03.13 | 14:30
Deputy Chairman of the opposition Heritage party Armen Martirosyan
has denied that his party has any connection with the alleged "new
cabinet" that a local paper said had been formed as a result of Raffi
Hovannisian's "political consultations."
At a press conference in Yerevan's Liberty Square on Wednesday,
Martirosyan said such publication by the newspaper, 168 Zham, was
rather aimed at distracting public attention from the real political
process.
The mentioned paper, citing "reliable sources", has unveiled the
membership of a so-called shadow Hovannisian government that the
opposition leader, who is now on hunger strike in the square, has
purportedly formed.
In particular, according to the publication, among 18 ministers of
this Cabinet would also be Armenian Revolutionary Federation member
Armen Rustamyan (Minister of Territorial Administration, Deputy
Prime Minister), environmental activist Mariam Sukhudyan (Minister
of Nature Protection), Sardarapat Movement member Tigran Khzmalyan
(Minister of Culture), Karabakh war veteran Jirair Sefilyan (Defense
Minister), Armenian American rock musician Serj Tankian (Minister
of Diaspora), Heritage Party member Armen Martirosyan (Minister of
Sport and Youth Affairs), Heritage Party member Zaruhi Postanjyan
(Minister of Urban Development).
