ArmInfo. The Political Board of the Orinats Yerkir Party, the ruling
coalition, met on March 14 and resolved to recall the party’s two
ministers: Transport and Communication Minister Gurgen Sargsyan
and Minister for Emergency Situations Mher Shahgeldyan, Armenian
parliamentarian (OY Party) Stepan Aslanyan told ArmInfo.

He said the decision aimed to enhance activity of Orinats Yerkir
party as the ex-ministers will be more actively engaged in intra-party
affairs. "We are grateful to them for good work in the Government,"
Aslanyan said. The OY Political Board resolved to nominate Armen
Yeritsyan, the first deputy head of the Armenian Police, for the
position of the Minister for Emergency Situation, and Manuk Vardanyan,
the former head of the State Real Estate Committee, for the position
of the Minister of Transport and Communications. Both the candidates
have joined OY Party quite recently.

The presidential press-service told ArmInfo the president has not
yet signed the decree on government staff reshuffles.
