Currently the issue of foreign minister Edward Nalbandian’s change is
not on the agenda, Republican Party of Armenia member Galust Sahakyan
told NEWS.am, commenting on his colleague Vahan Hovhannisyan’s demand
that RA FM resigns due to inefficient work.

According to him, RPA is content with Nalbandian’s work, otherwise
he wouldn’t be holding the office. Sahakyan stated that though these
statements ARFD seeks to garner political dividends, that will not
however affect RPA and leadership’s opinion.

Besides, Heritage party member Armen Martirosyan also ranged himself on
the side of Nalbandian, emphasizing that no avail in ARFD’s attempts
to scapegoat foreign minister, as president is the one liable for
the foreign policy course.
