YEREVAN, April 11. /ARKA/. The ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) will name the new premier Monday, vice-speaker of the parliament and member of RPA executive body Eduard Sharmazanov told reporters Thursday.
The party has not decided on the candidate yet, Sharmazanov said. The president is holding consultations with political parties, as required by the constitution, he said.
