YEREVAN, April 2 (Reuters) – Armenia’s leading Republican Party
nominated on Monday its acting head and the country’s Defence
Minister Serzh Sarksyan for the post of prime minister, paving the
way for his official appointment, the party said.

President Robert Kocharyan is now widely expected to sign a decree
endorsing Sarksyan’s candidacy. Previous Prime Minister Andranik
Margaryan, who at the same time led the Republican Party, died
suddenly of a heart attack on March 25.
