ArmInfo. Prosperous Armenia Party is not offended for receiving no
additional ministerial portfolios, although the party supported Serzh
Sargsyan at the presidential election.

Secretary of Prosperous Armenia (PA) Parliamentary faction Aram
Safaryan said at Friday Debate Club Monday that this very issue
aroused a great interest of journalists. ‘Why should we feel
offended?’ Safaryan said. He stressed that PA has always come out
for national accord. Moreover, the parliamentarian said that many
wise and intellectual people are the members of the party and their
potential can be issued both in the government and other branches,
Safaryan said. The reforms in the country depend on the 4- sided
coalition and its programs. ‘We should use the whole intellectual
potential of the parties included in the coalition to overcome the
tense post-election situation in Armenia’, Safaryan said. As regards
the appointments to the government, he said that ‘a new and more
optimal model of governance is expected’. He believes PA will not
receive any new ministerial portfolios.

To recall, by the decree of President Serzh Sargsyan, PA received
three ministerial portfolios: sport for youth affairs; trade and
economic development; health.
