Armenia’s Rule of Law Party Recalls its Two Ministers

In its March 13 meeting, the political bureau of the centrist party of the Republic of Armenia Rule of Law (Orinats Yerkir) discussed the issue of recalling two of its ministers — Mher Shahgeldyan, the Minister of Emergency Situations, and Gurgen Sargsyan, the Minister of Transport and Communications. The Bureau decided to recall these two ministers and proposed the candidacy of Armen Yeritsyan and Manuk Vardanyan, respectively, for these positions.

The party’s press office told Tert.am that Shahgeldyan and Sargsyan will be offered other positions in the party’s executive board and will assume other duties.

Rule of Law leader Artur Baghdasaryan will hold a press conference on this reshuffling, as well as some other internal party issues, at 11 pm on March 16.
