YEREVAN. Jan 13

Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan has denied press reports
claiming that he will receive the post of parliament speaker following
the country’s parliamentary election in May 2012.

“This information is not true,” he told Interfax on Friday.

The Aikakan Zhamanak newspaper reported earlier that Sargsyan could
become the speaker of Armenia’s new parliament.
