Today at the NA extraordinary session convened by the Government the acting Minister of Justice Arpine Hovhannisyan presented the issue of Government’s structural changes. She noted that the Ministry of Economy will be renamed to Ministry of Economic Development and Investments, Ministry of Transport, Communication and IT, Ministry of Energy Infrastructures and Natural Resources, and the Ministry of Urban Development will be removed. “These are changes in names, priorities and highlights with the launch of new approaches,” said Arpine Hovhannisyan. The NA Vice Speaker Eduard Sharmazanov, using his right to pose extraordinary question, said that the Ministry of Diaspora is important, but the name isn’t full, “I propose to make it an issue for discussion and rename, by making it Ministry of Diaspora and Repatriation and give it a function to gather the nation so that all the Armenians throughout the world draw their attention to the RA.” Arpine Hovhannisyan noted that she can understand the semantic burden involved in the proposal of the NA Vice Speaker, “I consider your proposal quite acceptable. I take this proposal into notice and it will definitely be discussed.”
