The reason for the release of Gevorg Petrosyan from the post of RA
Minister of Lbor and Social Security is his inexperience, Khachik
Galstyan, Spokesman for Gagik Tsarukyan, Chairman of the Prosperous
Armenia Party (PAP), told NEWS.am.

"It is a very heavy sector, and the tasks Gagik Tsarukyan set to
the person in charge of the sector have not yet been accomplished,"
Galstyan said.

We would remind our readers that the PAP faction member Naira
Zohrabyan, and Gevorg Petrosyan himself, stated the minister resigned
for health reasons.

In his recent interview with NEWS.am Aram Safaryan, Secretary of
the PAP faction, said that the PAP was satisfied with Petrosyan’s
activities. As regards the contradictory statements made by PAP
members, Galstyan said: "We are not speaking about content or
discontent, rather about a high level of management of the sector.

Social security is a delicate field, as we are nominating a person with
wide experience." Galstyan named the candidate for the post – Mkhitar
Mnatsakanyan, Chairman of the Armenian Society of the Red Cross.
