ARKA
June 13, 2008
YEREVAN, June 13. /ARKA/. The ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA)
has not considered the issue of changing the RA NA (National Assembly)
Speaker, said Artak Davtyan, RPA member.
Acting RA NA Speaker Tigran Torosian is also RPA Deputy Chairman.
Rumor-mongers say Torosian might resign and RA President’s Staff Head
Hovik Abrahamyan is likely to replace him.
"No such issue has been discussed during RPA meetings," Davtyan
said. "Tigran Torosyan has been elected RA Parliament Speaker and he
works successfully."
RPA Member Mkrtich Minasyan said the RA NA Speaker’s resignation
can be discussed at meeting of the party’s executive board. However,
RPA has no intention to discuss this issue.
He called on everybody to refrain from speculations and wait until
the RPA executive board holds a meeting today.
