    ANDRANIK MARGARIAN: NEW CULTURE MINISTER'S APPOINTMENT PROVIDED ONLY BY RE-ARRANGEMENTS IN POLITICAL FIELD OF COUNTRY

    Noyan Tapan
    May 23 2006

    YEREVAN, MAY 23, NOYAN TAPAN. Prime Minister Andranik Margarian
    introduced on May 23 Hasmik Poghosian, the Minister of Culture and
    Youth Issues, newly appointed by RA President Robert Kocharian's
    decree, to the ministry's staff.

    Andranik Margarian mentioned that Gevorg Gevorgian, appointed the
    Minister of Culture and Youth Issues three months ago has done
    a rather great work at the Ministry during this period, and a new
    person's appointment on this post is provided only by re-arrangements
    taken place in the political field. "During those three months Gevorg
    Gevorgian created at the Ministry a working atmosphere and showed a
    strict orientation in the affair of development of the cultural policy
    of the country. Gevorg Gevorgian was my co-thinker in this sense.

    It is a pity that the issue of changing the Minister arose
    in consequence of the political situation," the Prime Minister
    emphasized. Andranik Margarian expressed a hope that newly appointed
    Minister Hasmik Poghosian who was nominated by the United Labour
    Party, will keep the already created working atmosphere at the
    Ministry and will continue working in the same way. H.Poghosian is
    non-partizan. The newly appointed Minister is not a new person in
    the sphere of culture. She has worked for long years at the Armenian
    Society for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries, and has been
    the Chairwoman of that structure during the recent time. Hasmik
    Poghosian mentioned that being appointed on the post of the Culture
    Minister was unexpected for her. According to her, she knows the sphere
    rather well, and in this sense, frames and issues of her activity will
    just enlarge. Responding the Noyan Tapan correspondent's question by
    what changing one non-partizan minister with another was provided,
    especially in the sphere of culture, where problems connected with
    ministers have always been, the Prime Minister mentioned that this is
    only a result of political changes. According to Andranik Margarian,
    he is not at all of the opinion that the Ministry of Culture is more
    national than others: "One must not separate ministries: as mush
    the culture is national as the education and nature protection are
    national." The Prime Minister expressed a hope that till May, 2007,
    no change of minister will be in this sphere any more. He informed
    that Gevorg Gevorgian will be proposed a new job as "those abilities
    and possibilities that the former minister has may not be left in
    the street."
