At today’s press conference Armenian Minister of Culture and Education Armen Ashotyan commented on rumors about his resignation.

“At the solemn session dedicated to 20th anniversary of the Republican Party of Armenia, President of Armenia and chairman of RPA Serzh Sargsyan, spoke of qualities that an official should have. I am confident that all officials who do not meet the requirements pointed out by the President should leave their posts. If I were one of them, I should not work as well,” Ashotyan said, adding that it would be immodest to give assessments whether he matches the requirements.
