Departure of Prime Minister and Head of Republican Party of Armenia
(RPA) Andranik Margaryan won’t affect shifts of political powers
in the republic, Vice-Speaker and a Member of RPA’s Bureau Vahan
Hovhannesyan said after the Prime Minister’s funeral ceremony in the
Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet today.

V. Hovhannesyan pointed out that political situation in the country is
stable and there are no destabilizing threats. "Andranik Margaryan has
contributed to political stability in Armenia. I think RPA will make
some minor changes into the pre-election campaign," Vice-Speaker said.

Note: The funeral of Armenia’s Prime Minister Andranik Margaryan took
place at 3 p.m. today. Tens of thousand of citizens, representatives of
executive and legislative powers, state authorities, representatives of
diplomatic corpses, as well as delegations from Georgia, USA, Russia,
Canada, Turkey, Belarus, Lithuania, Greece, Ukraine and NATO attended
the funeral ceremony.
