Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan on Thursday chaired a meeting of the
executive body of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) during
which he presented the results of his consultations with a number of
political forces regarding the appointment of the next prime minister.
The premier's post has remained vacant since April 3 when Tigran
Sargsyan, who had led the Cabinet for six years, submitted his
resignation. President Sargsyan formally accepted the resignation
the following day.
RPA spokesperson Eduard Sharmazanov told media after the RPA executive
body's meeting that party discussions and consultations on the next
prime minister will continue for the coming days and the name of the
new head of the government will be announced on Monday.
The new prime minister will have 20 days to form the new Cabinet.
Meanwhile, representatives of the Prosperous Armenia Party and
Dashnaktsutyun have said that they have no intentions to form a
coalition with the ruling party in the next government. Leaders of
both parties held consultations with President Sargsyan earlier today.
The opposition Armenian National Congress and Heritage refused to
meet the head of state for similar consultations.
