Paper: No more than 2 ministerial seats for Orinats Yerkir party

According to Yerkir daily, at the new government of Armenia, Orinats Yerkir party will retain 2 ministerial seats, those of Agriculture Minister and the Minister of Emergency Situations.

Armen Yeritsyan will continue on his post as Emergency Situations Minister; Sergo Karapetyan’s retaining his seat is highly questionable.

“The party leader tried to snatch yet another seat, however, the Republican Party of Armenia refused Orinats Yerkir from more that two ministerial seats, even if the latter doesn’t enter the coalition,” the daily reported.
