Zhamanak: Serzh Sargsyan already has candidate for PM
President Serzh Sargsyan has already chosen a candidate for Armenian prime minister, ‘Zhamanak’ paper writes, noting that Karen Karapetian was selected. It is assumed that his name will be announced on Sunday afternoon.
“Karapetian’s candidacy is acceptable to the Russian side. After his appointment, the process of Armenia’s entry into the Customs Union will be successfully completed, from dictation of the Russian side. Besides, Karen Karapetian is a nonaffiliated person, which is in line with the statement that Edward Sharmazanov made following PM Tigran Sargsyan’s resignation to the effect that the next prime minister may not be a member of the Republican Party of Armenia,” the paper notes.
