Today Armenia lost a major political figure - Prime Minister of the Republic, Andranik Margaryan. He passed away from a heart attack. He will leave behind a family of two daughters and grand children.
He was seen as one of Armenia’s (few) respected politicians.
This will spell changes in Armenia’s political scene and will leave the post of Prime Minister open to another, Margaryan was head of the Republican Party - of which Defense Minister Serge Sargsyan is also a member. It is too early to speculate who will take over but things will soon become clear.
There is not much more information around , and state television h1 is showing a changed schedule of programming as it usually does during national mourning.
Harmick, I don’t think it’s too early to speculate at all. The most likely candidates will be Hovik Abrahamian, Serzh Sarkisian or Tigran Torosian. An outsider would be interesting, but these are the most likely.
