According to unofficial data, Armenian Agriculture Minister Gerasim Alaverdyan was released from his duties.

The possibility of the Minister's resignation has been discussed by media recently.

“We heard about it in the morning but there is no official confirmation yet,” a Ministry employee told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

In a December 24 news conference, Alaverdyan said that rumors about his resignation are untrue.

“The issue was not discussed in Orinatc Yerkir party, of which I am a member,” he said.
