The ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) has about 30 members, who are capable to act as parliament speaker, according to the head of RPA parliamentary group.

“All chairmen of parliamentary committees as well as a number of young and experienced members of parliament can serve as parliament speaker,” Galust Sahakyan said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.

“We do not have personnel shortages,” he said when commenting on rumors about possible appointment of head of the Armenian delegation to PACE Davit Harutyunyan as the National Assembly chairman.

Sahakyan said no designation has been discussed yet.

Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan resigned on November 1 to head the election headquarters of the Republican Party of Armenia.
