]Should ruling Republican Party of Armenia National Assembly (RPA NA) Faction Head Galust Sahakyan is elected NA Speaker, parliament’s former Speaker and RPA MP Samvel Nikoyan may replace Sahakyan as head of the Faction. A RPA source told the aforesaid to Armenian News-NEWS.am.

According to the source, however, the matter of Sahakyan concurrently heading the RPA parliamentary faction is discussed, too.

The source noted that the NA regulation enables the parliament leader to hold these two positions. Nonetheless, the RPA Faction members have not yet made a final decision on this matter.

The parliament on Monday will vote on its next speaker, whom RPA has nominated.
