The Chief of the Armenian National Assembly (NA) staff Hrayr Tovmasyan doesn’t see his membership to the government.
He told the aforementioned to journalists on Thursday before the session of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) Council and Executive Body.
Tovmasyan declined to assess the work of the resigned PM Hovik Abrahamyan.
“Let me not give assessments. Mr Prime Minister has already given his assessment,”he said.
Asked how the changes, which have not been made in the recent years, should be carried out, Tovmasyan said: “The political reforms were launched with the Constitution adopted last year. Besides subjective issues, our country also has objective ones, among which I have pointed out to the governmental system. Those issues are peculiar to all the countries with semi-presidential system. The Constitution adopted last year tries to solve those issues.”
In Tovmasyan’s words, the political reforms should lead to economic ones. Some time later, Armenia will have a different political culture, he added.
“Today we can already see its manifestations. For instance, during the elections in Vanadzor and Gyumri, you never saw a political struggle, which we can currently witness. This is an important issue: the local elections have never been political in nature in Armenia. And now we can see the first “sprouts,”he said.
Armenian Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan announced his resignation following the meeting of the Cabinet on Thursday
