“When there are decrees, you will know,” said Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Shavarsh Kocharyan after the Government session, in reply to the question whether there will be personnel changes in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after the appointment of new PM. Is the news that Head of President’s staff Vigen Sargsyan will be appointed a new minister, Shavarsh Kocharyan’s answer was the same, “When there is a decree, you will know.” The reply of Deputy Minister to the question whether he is pleased or not with the work of current minister Edward Nalbandian, was the same, “Now, when there are no appointments, I won’t make any comments.” As for the NK conflict resolution, in this case the words of Deputy Minister were more concrete, “The fact that Vienna and Saint Petersburg agreements haven’t been fulfilled, that’s the reason that in reality there cannot be any progress in the negotiations process. So, everything depends on the fulfillment of those agreements.” In reply to the question of one of the reporters whether Shavarsh Kocharyan will return to the opposition field, if he isn’t included in the new Government, “I am accountable both for my biography and my future, but not to you.”
