Pashinyan's Appointees Are Causing a Stir in the 'Republic': Hayarpel

The newspaper 'Hayarpel' reports: 'While Nikol Pashinyan publicly expresses his views on which officials have the right to work and which do not, his appointees are daily causing a stir in the 'Republic.' Yesterday, Mikayel Melkumyan from the Prosperous Armenia Party boldly stated from the parliament podium that Pashinyan should send prepared ministers and deputy ministers to the parliament: 'This is, after all, a political podium.'

Melkumyan complained that recently the Deputy Minister of Labor and Social Affairs, Saityan, attended the parliament and cited figures that were later refuted. Following Melkumyan, My Step Alliance MP Babken Tunyan effectively confirmed in his speech that the deputy minister spoke about 18,000 people instead of 81,000 citizens.'
