Media report Armenian prime minister may resign before elections

Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sarkisyan may resign before the coming presidential elections, media report.

However, the prime minister's office says such rumours are baseless and he will remain in office until 2018.

In spite of that, the Granparak newspaper published a list of officials who may replace Sarkisyan as head of the  abinet. The list includes Ovik Obramyan, Karen Karapetyan, Armen Gevorkyan and former prime minister Armen Sarkisyan.
