Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian and Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian
The statement said corresponding decrees reappointing both ministers were signed today by President Serzh Sarkisian.
Hovik Abrahamian, who served as chairman of the National Assembly, was appointed as new prime minister by president Sarkisian after Sunday’s extraordinary meeting of the governing body of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia. Abrahamian replaced the ex head of the government, Tigran Sargsyan, who resigned on April 3.
Under the Constitution, the new cabinet must be formed within twenty days from the date of the appointment of prime minister. The president has the right to appoint several key ministers. The rest are nominated by the head of the government.
