YEREVAN, March 26. /ARKA/. The Prime-Ministerial Club convened its first session on Friday in Yerevan, the Armenian government's press office reports.
Hovik Abrahamyan, the present prime minister, came up with this initiative in May 2014.
Speaking in the National Assembly, he called this idea a good initiative saying that prime-ministers should share their experience with their successors.

Viktor Soghomonyan, spokesman of the second president Robert Kocharyan, who took up prime-ministerial office in March 1997, left it in February 1998 after the then president Levon Ter-Petrosyan resigned and won the 1998 presidential election, told Novosti-Armenia that Kocharyan rejected invitation saying he had no intention to attend any of the club's sessions.
