Iravunk: Lilit Galstyan may get MP seat
According to Iravunk newspaper, the possible appointment of Vahan Hovhannisyan as Ambassador of Armenia to Germany is still being discussed. The press reported that former Agriculture Minister Aramais Grigoryan comes next on the ARFD’s proportional list.
“However, the ARF Dashnaktsutyun thinks that a female deputy should be included in the parliamentary faction. Ruzanna Arakelyan is number 11 on the ARFD’s list, but Vahan Hovhannisyan does not object to passing his mandate to Lilit Galstyan,” the newspaper says.
When asked to comment on whether she plans to take over the MP seat, Ms Galstyan said, “I think it is inappropriate to comment on this issue when Vahan Hovhannisyan is still a Member of Parliament and my good friend.”
