BEIRUT, MAY 27, ARMENIANS TODAY – NOYAN TAPAN.
MP of Lenanese parliament Hagop Pakradounian stressed to Voice of
Lebanon radio the importance of representing the Armenian sect in the
new cabinet with two ministers. According to him one of the ministers
would be named by the opposition, and the other named by the majority.
"I prefer not to be a minister myself in order not to mix parliamentary
duties with the ministerial ones," Pakradounian said. He denied that
the opposition had made the decision to nominate MP Saad Harriri as
prime minister, at the same time mentioning: "Personally I don’t see
anything that prevents him from taking that position since he
represents a big parliamentary bloc."
