YEREVAN. - Former Prime Minster of Armenia, Hovik Abrahamyan, didn't take part in the Executive Body session of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) Thursday.

Spokesperson for the RPA, Eduard Sharmazanov, who is also the Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly (NA), told the aforementioned to reporters Thursday.

According to him, regulatory and program-related issues were discussed at the session. Apart from this, proposals were made, decision on which will be taken prior to the congress slated for November 26.

Sharmazanov also noted that the Defense Minister Vigen Sargsyan has not yet written an application to join the RPA. A few days ago, Sargsyan told reporters that in the future he will write an application to join the RPA.

''The non-partisan politicians actually have no future in the Republic of Armenia. But if you are involved in politics, you must be a party representative,” Sharmazanov said.

He also stressed that the RPA is a single leader party.

PM Karen Karapetyan, who is on a visit to Moscow, didn't attend the session.
