Arsen Torosyan's Post Intensifies Struggle Within 'My Step' Faction

"Hraparak" reports: "Tensions are not calm within the ruling team. The status written by Health Minister Arsen Torosyan the day before, targeting some members of the 'My Step' faction in parliament, has intensified the struggle, with the focus on the chair of the Health Committee, Narek Zeynalyan. Meanwhile, the Speaker of the National Assembly, Ararat Mirzoyan, who is very close to Zeynalyan, is closely monitoring the dispute, further aggravating the situation for the minister.

"The issue is that Narek Zeynalyan, an experienced physician attempting to uphold the dignity of his cooperation, has scheduled a meeting with doctors on March 22. The doctors are seriously concerned about Torosyan's public statement that the treatment for ischemic stroke is free, when in fact only certain types of treatment for that condition are free. Patients visit their doctors and are told they have to pay, to which the latter replies, 'I can bury you; the minister said it's free.' Now, Zeynalyan wants to understand the situation and has informed Torosyan about it, which has displeased him, leading to an immediate response."
