The MPs of the ruling majority "Civil Contract" Faction of the National Assembly of Armenia are holding a closed meeting in the parliament, to which High-Tech Industry Minister Vahagn Khachaturyan—who is the authorities’ probable candidate for the next President—is also attending. This information was confirmed by the ruling Civil Contract Party in an interview with Armenian News-NEWS.am.
As reported earlier, NA speaker Alen Simonyan on Tuesday signed the record on the termination of Armen Sarkissian's powers as the President of Armenia, after which Simonyan temporarily assumed the duties of the President until a new President is elected.
