Substitution: Three new Dashnak ministers appointed after their fellow partisans’ resignations

Filed Under ArmeniaNow Weekly 

Arsen Ambartsumyan, Aramayis Grigoryan, Spartak SeyranyanPresident Serzh Sargsyan late on Monday accepted the resignations of three Dashnak ministers and signed decrees appointing their fellow party members to succeed them in their positions.

Veteran government members Levon Mkrtchyan, David Lokyan and Aghvan Vardanyan had tendered their resignations as ministers of education, agriculture and labor and social affairs respectively after the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF, Dashnaktsutyun) announced the new composition of its supreme party body, the Bureau, last week.

The 11-member Bureau also included the ministers who thus gave up their ministerial positions to devote themselves fully to party activities.

The ARF is a member of the recently formed four-party governing coalition, which also includes President Sargsyan’s Republican Party of Armenia, as well as Orinats Yerkir and Prosperous Armenia and thus has preserved its ministerial portfolios in the Tigran Sargsyan-led cabinet.

By the presidential decree, Editor-in-Chief of the Yerkir newspaper Spartak Seyranyan was appointed Minister of Education, Arsen Ambartsumyan was appointed Minister of Labor and Social Affairs (he worked at the Ministry before this appointment) and MP Aramayis Grigoryan was appointed Minister of Agriculture.
