168 Hours: PM’s assistant to become SDHP head
Narek Galstyan will probably be elected head of the Social Democrat Hunchakian Party (SDHP) at the party’s congress today, 168 Hours daily repots.
The newspaper notes that Galstyan is an assistant to Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan and will have to quit that post in case of his election.
“Why should Galstyan quit the post of PM’s assistant and become a party head, which is considered social work? The party members suppose that either Galstyan thinks that the Prime Minister will resign from his position soon or the Prime Minister has presidential ambitions and is therefore creating for himself some political areas outside the Republican Party of Armenia,” the newspaper says.
