The ruling political force has not discussed yet the new government staff, spokesman of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) said.

“The formation of the new government was not included in the agenda of RPA executive body meeting,” Eduard Sharmazanov told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

According to Hraparak daily, reelected president Serzh Sargsyan has already initiated the formation of the new government.

“Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian is likely to be appointed Armenian ambassador to France, with the chief of president staff Vigen Sargsyan to replace him on the post,” the paper reported.

In conversation with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, Mr Sharmazanov noted appointment of the minister within the president’s constitutional powers.
