Republicans did not discuss reshufflings in RPA-held positions

17:06 – 10.09.11

Spokesperson for the ruling Republican Party of Armenia has dismissed
allegations the party considers the issue of offering former chief of
staff of presidential administration a position in the government.

`During yesterday’s RPA board meeting no staff issue related to Karen
Karapetyan was discussed,’ said Eduard Sharmazanov.

`As what concerns your next question related to the shifting of prime
minister, I should mention that the RPA did not discuss shifting the
prime minister,’ assured Sharmazanov.

It comes after Chief of Staff of the presidential administration Karen
Karapetyan submitted a resignation letter which was confirmed by the
president.

Karapetyan’s responsibilities will be assumed by his deputy Vigen Sargsyan.
