Health Minister is leaving his post
The members of the new government will be decided in a couple of hours during the sitting of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (HHK). However, it is generally believed that the new government will not greatly differ from the previous one.
According to press reports, Health Minister Harutyun Kushkyan has finally quitted the ranks of the Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) and will continue to serve in government.
Shushan Hunanyan, a spokesperson for the health minister, said the rumors do not correspond to reality.
"Harutyun Kushkyan is simply leaving his post, he is not leaving the party," she said.
Derenik Dumanyan, Rector of Yerevan State Medical Univesity, is among the contenders for the post of Health Minister
