Nikol Pashinyan’s team cracking: Past

The team of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is cracking, Armenian newspaper Past reported.

Head of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister Tigran Avinyan - Varag Siserian will be relieved of his post, according to the media outlet.

“Yesterday, there was news that he would be on leave until June 2, and upon return, he would resign,” it said.

“According to a close source, Siserian will not return. The reason is not the closure of his office, but the public will learn the real cause in the coming days. Whatever the reason, the fact is that Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan cannot only manage the situation related to the coronavirus but also loses control of his team. This speeds up the start of a rift in the prime minister’s team,” Past reported.
