    Hraparak: ARF-D to join coalition after April 24

    11:11 * 21.03.15


    The opposition Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaksutyun (ARF-D)
    is expected to join the governing coalition after the April 24
    Genocide Remembrance Day, the paper says, citing sources close to the
    party.

    The same sources have reportedly said that an agreement was reached
    over giving ARF-D three cabinet portfolios, the Ministries of
    Diaspora, Labor and Social Affairs, and Foreign Affairs. But at the
    foreign ministry, only a deputy minister's post is going to be
    reserved for an ARF-D member. "The rest will be clear after the
    [amended] Constitution is adopted," the source said, adding that Levon
    Lazarian, a former education minister, is a potential candidate to
    hold the office.

    But the paper claims that Lazarian's name is also circulated as the
    future minister of diaspora. As for Hranush Hakobyan, the incumbent
    minister, she will, in most likelihood, go to Russia, a plan which the
    paper claims is her crystal dream as a former secretary of Komsomol
    (All-Union Leninist Young Communist League of which Hakobyan was the
    First Secretary from 1985 until 1990). As for the Ministry of Labor
    and Social Affairs, the paper says it will be headed by either Artsvik
    Minasyan, a member of the ARF-D faction in parliament, or Sergey
    Lokyan, an advisor to the prime minister.

    As for Aghvan Vardanyan, a former social affairs minister, the paper
    says he will be in charge of the political front, the ARF-D's Supreme
    Body, with the perspective to make Istanbul a "sea of blood".
