According to Hraparak daily, reports suggesting the seat of the Minister of Culture will pass from the Republican Party of Armenia to Prosperous Armenia party are false.

As President Serzh Sargsyan stated at RPA assembly sitting, “the Culture Minister is alive, so no transition of the post is planned.”

As the daily reminds, Culture Minister Hamsik Poghosyan is the daughter of the recently deceased Soviet-time official Stepan Poghosyan, which might be the only reason for Ms Poghosyan’s ministerial longevity.
