The Council of the Republican Party confirmed on April 2 the decision
of the executive committee of the party to name Serge Sargsyan prime
minister.
Speaker Tigran Torosyan, the deputy leader of the party, stated
that the most experienced and suitable candidate of the party is
Serge Sargsyan.
"In appointment of prime minister everything should be natural and
correct.
The Republican Party has several ministers in the government but I
am sure th at Serge Sargsyan is the most experienced and suitable
candidate," Tigran Torosyan said.
He mentioned that Serge Sargsyan's experience and other reasons
make it obvious that the Republican Party made the right decision
"because appointment to such high-ranking positions is not the case
when there are many candidates and competition."
According to Tigran Torosyan, the president of Armenia must hold a
political consultation with the political forces today with only a
day before the deadline of appointment of prime minister. "Although
it is already obvious that the coalition will endorse Serge Sargsyan,"
said Tigran Torosyan after the meeting of the Council of the Republican
Party. He said he thinks that by the end of the ten-day term on April
4 the president will appoint Serge Sargsyan prime minister.
With regard to the possible replacements in the government, the speaker
of the National Assembly said considering the present situation
the government will not change. As to combining the posts of the
prime minister and the defense minister, Tigran Torosyan said it is
unconstitutional. Tigran Torosyan also said the Republican Party's
Council did not discuss candidates for the office of the defense
minister. "The Republican Party has never named defense ministers
and will not name," said the speaker of the National Assembly.
