The NA deputies will elect NA Speaker today.

Despite all predictions and expectations, two candidates were put
forward from the Republican party – Tigran Torosyan and Galoust
Sahakyan.

Galoust Sahakyan proposed NA deputy Speaker Tigran Torosyan’s candidacy
for the NA Speaker, and the candidacy of Galoust Sahakyn was put
forward by Hakob Hakobyan, member of the “National Deputy” faction.

Galoust Sahakyan’s candidacy was proposed for a few minutes as he
announced rejection to his nomination.

He didn’t want to bring grounds for his decision and promised to
divulge the motives later on.

According to the NA agenda-regulation Tigran Torosyan presented his
program and answered the questions of the deputies. The NA parties
and factions will share their opinions on the elections in an hour.
