«Hraparak»: The Announcement of Araik's Resignation Has Caused More Stir Among 'My Steps' Than Anti-Revolutionaries

«Hraparak» daily reports: “The announcement of Araik’s resignation has caused more stir within our team than among anti-revolutionaries,” said a source from “My Steps.” What do you mean? “Nikol will not hand him over at any cost, but it seems that the ARF and the 'affiliated' forces will not hold back, which is why the team is already making preparations to replace Araik. The most active group consists of Ararat Mirzoyan, Vahan Kostanyan, and Hovhannes Hovhannisyan, who want to appoint Hovhannes Hovhannisyan as minister. They pretend to support Araik, but in reality, they are subtly scheming against him. The other group consists of the Soros-aligned individuals who are also ‘nudging’ Deputy Minister Arevik Anapiosyan. Araik understands all of this and feels worse than the 'uneducated' ARF, despite his faction, led by Arsen Torosyan, not sitting idly and doing everything possible to prevent Araik from resigning. Let’s not forget that Araik brought Arsen to the ministry,” the newspaper writes.

Deputy Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sports Arevik Anapiosyan responded to the question of whether she is one of the likely candidates if Araik resigns, saying, “The issue of Araik Harutyunyan is not being discussed at all. There is no need to pose such a question.” They say never say never. “I assure you that there can be no talk of Mr. Harutyunyan's resignation, even in the distant agenda.” But hasn’t your team said that the people's opinion is the most important for you? “The people expressed their will in the December 2018 elections, on the basis of which the government was formed. I do not think that the protesters represent the entire population,” the article states.
