As President Serzh Sargsyan stated at RPA assembly sitting, “the Culture Minister is alive, so no transition of the post is planned.” As the daily reminds, Culture Minister Hamsik Poghosyan is the daughter of the recently deceased Soviet-time official Stepan Poghosyan, which might be the only reason for Ms Poghosyan’s ministerial longevity.
