YEREVAN.- Newly appointed Armenian Health Minister Derenik Dumanyan said not a single employee of the ministry had handed in resignation so far.

Former minister Harutyun Kushkyan was a member of Prosperous Armenia Party. According to rumors, the PAP members are ousted from the Ministry.

Dumanyan assured the reporters that political views of his employees are not important, adding he pays attention to professional skills.  

“It is difficult to accept a resignation. I would ask to take it back. However, any application should be respected,” he told reporters on Thursday.
