Ararat Mirzoyan's Teammates Understand His Intentions: 'Hraparak'
'Hraparak' newspaper reports: 'The current president of the National Assembly, Ararat Mirzoyan, submitted a resignation request the day before, after his political party 'Civil Agreement' this time 'rejected' him and did not nominate him again for the position of NA president, despite many believing that he has maintained neutrality and managed the parliament's work successfully during these three challenging years. Mirzoyan's teammates were unaware of his plans yesterday, but from their recent interactions with him, they gathered the impression that he wants to 'fly' from the team and is unwilling to take on any responsibilities in any capacity. However, he is becoming increasingly encouraged to agree to the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The next unexpected resignation was that of the Secretary of 'My Step', Hakob Simidyan, who has played the role of 'gendarme' for 'My Step' for the past three years, and through his efforts, the faction has remained alongside Pashinyan. He will also be appointed as the deputy head of the newly formed Ministry of Internal Affairs in the near future.
As for Vagharshak Harutyunyan, who was seen as a candidate for the position of Secretary of the National Security Council, plans have changed, and his agrément has been sent to the Russian authorities for the position of Armenia's ambassador to Russia. By the way, the candidate for the Minister of Justice is also known; yesterday the name of former ombudsman Karen Andreasyan was circulated, whose 'childhood dream' is to become Minister of Justice.'
