CHORRORD ISHKHANUTYUN: MATURING CONFLICT AT ARMENIA'S MINISTRY OF ECONOMY
09:46 ~U 24.09.13
The paper says it has learned from sources about a maturing conflict
at the Ministry of Economy of Armenia.
Minister Vahram Avanesyan has reportedly remained discontent with the
fact his first deputy, Karine Minasyan, is coordinating the activities
of the commission tasked with elaborating the procedures of Armenia's
accession to the Eurasian Customs Union.
The minister has complained that such a decision means giving him an
inferior role, says the paper.
Minasyan, who has close close connections with Prime Minister Tigran
Sargsyan, is known for her ambitions of becoming a minister, says the
paper. Both she and Mr Avanesyan are known as champions of pro-Western
policies in the government, but with the Customs Union deal being on
the agenda, they know seem to be taking a bet to see who will be the
first to serve the Russians, adds the paper.
