Naira Zohrabyan could, but…
Hrair Karapetyan is no longer NA Deputy Chairman after ARF quit the coalition and the National Assembly is currently deciding to choose either Republican Edward Sharmazanov or "Country of Law" member Hovhannes Margaryan for deputy chairman.
"Our political party has not discussed anything yet and there has not been a nomination either. I don't find it necessary to discuss that as long as there hasn't been any nomination," told "A1+" today Edward Sharmazanov adding that he will accept any decision that the Republican Party makes.
The second possible candidate Hovhannes Margaryan was not at the National Assembly today because he is currently out of the country. As for the posts held by the Dashnaks (Minister of Labor and Social Issues, Minister of Education and Science and Minister of Agriculture), only two names are in circulation-deputy head of the "Country of Law" party Heghine Bisharyan and member of the "Prosperous Armenia" party Naira Zohrabyan.
Mrs. Bisharyan is also out of the country. However, Naira Zohrabyan told "A1+":
"Those are just rumors in the presses. The ARF stepped down, but the coalition has not discussed the issue yet. According to the memorandum signed by coalition-member parties, there will be discussions and the rumors flying around are simply predictions."
Zohrabyan did not deny the fact that she sees herself in the field of education and science, but said:
"It is still not clear and I don't want to talk about it. But the fact remains that I could make reforms in any sphere."
According to rumors flying around the hallways of the National Assembly, leader of the "Country of Law" party Artur Baghdasaryan is fighting a strong battle to see either Heghine Bisharyan as Minister of Education and Science or Hovhannes Margaryan as NA Deputy Chairman.
