Ruben Vardanyan is in no hurry to make changes in the composition of the Government after his appointment as Karabakh's Minister of State, Hraparak newspaper wrote, developing the topic. "It is strange at first sight. After all, he was given broad managerial powers. If Artak Beglaryan was in charge of 5 spheres, Ruben Vardanyan supervised all ministries, except power ministries, as well as all state bodies, including directly the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Karabakh political circles consider it nonsense, as the head of the state defines the foreign policy.

There are rumors that Vardanyan is in no hurry for a number of reasons, although he wanted to appoint his own people to head the departments from the very beginning. He even tried to invite people from Armenia, but in Karabakh it was made clear to him that this step would not be forgiven.

He can bring 1-2 Armenians from Armenia into the government, but no more. Now he is in no hurry, so as not to form an army of "enemies" against him. They even say that he has already decided who should leave and who should stay and has given time to the others, because they may still be able to work with him. In any case, the new personnel policy will begin in the New Year. We are also told that there is an agreement that at some stage the power structures will also come under Vardanyan's control. There is no doubt in Karabakh already: the change of power has started smoothly, and Arayik Harutyunyan is gradually handing over his powers to Vardanyan," the newspaper notes.
