RA Government denies rumors on Armen Sargsyan's appointment as Prime Minster
Armenian Government denies rumors on the possibility of Armen Sargsyan's being appointed as Prime Minister. When questioned by PanAREMENIAN.Net reporter about the reliability of such information, Petros Demirchyan, RA Government PR and Information Department Head, said that they encounter such rumors almost every day. "I find it unnecessary to comment on these rumors. Such information apparently serves the interests of certain political forces."

The Mass Media have today released information that ex-premier Armen Sargsyan, currently residing in Great Britain, intends to be re-appointed to the same post. The assumption is based on the fact that ex-Premier assisted RA President Serzh Sargsyan in the realization of most of his election programs, as well as maintained a balance in the country's political life by setting up MIAK political party.

Meanwhile, MIAK Press Secretary Nayira Karapetyan announced that the party is often mistakenly associated with Armen Sargsyan. "I announce in all seriousness that MIAK party is not in any way related to ex-premier Armen Sargsyan," she said.
