The official may either be appointed now or in 8 months, after the presidential polls. Karapetyan is favourable for the Republican Party and prosperous Armenia. Russia approves the candidate as well.
Former Speaker of Parliament Ovik Abramyan will become the new Speaker, Samvel Nikoyan will become the Vice Speaker.
