Which Ministries Will Be Optimized First After the Elections

During a meeting at the Union of Writers, Alen Simonyan, a candidate from the 'My Step' alliance in the Central community, informed writers in a lengthy debate that after the elections, the Ministry of Education and Science and the Ministry of Culture will merge and become one ministry.

Hraparak.am reports that Simonyan deemed it very likely that Araik Harutyunyan would not head this ministry. Simonyan apologized to the writers' union on behalf of Araik Harutyunyan, as union members claim that Harutyunyan commented about one contemporary writer, stating that he is no longer relevant, and suggested that writers should present what they have written.
