YEREVAN. - Deputy Speaker of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) Eduard Sharmazanov, who is also the spokesperson for the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), clarified the reason for changing the composition of the party’s executive board.

“Vice Chairman of our party, Razmik Zohrabyan, who is one of the pillars of our party, turned to the President at his own wish, asking not to include him in the executive board due to his health problems. As to [PM] Karen Karapetyan and [Defense Minister] Vigen Sargsyan, everything is clear here. Decision regarding Samvel Farmanyan’s had to do with the wish to attract new forces. [Justice Minister] Arpine Hovhannisyan proved that she works efficiently,” Sharamaznov noted.

21 Republicans were included in the new composition of the party’s executive body.
