Pashinyan appoints Ghazaryan as Armenian sport minister

Armenia's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan appointed Gabriel Ghazaryan, who is now deputy sport and youth affairs minister, as sport and youth affairs minister.  

Ghazaryan has already run the ministry over a period between 2014 and 2016, ARKA recalls.

The seat remained vacant after on October 2 three parties’ lawmakers, in a bid to retain their seats in the National Assembly, passed a bill hindering dismissal of the parliament.
