YEREVAN. – “We attempted to clarify from [Armenia’s Culture Minister] Hasmik Poghosyan—who, on last Wednesday, had come to the parliament to attend the [National Assembly] NA-Government question-and-answer [session]—as to what the culture’s ‘first lady’ thinks about the rumors that she will soon be replaced by [singer] Shushan Petrosyan,” Irates De Facto writes.     

‘Normal,’ responded the lady of culture, albeit the question was not to her liking too much. ‘Will the singer Shushan be able to head the complicated domain of culture?’, we continued. ‘Each thinking person can; I see no problem,’ the Minister responded,” Irates De Facto writes.
