“The duties of the RA Minister of Foreign Affairs are being performed by the longest-serving deputy minister.” This was communicated to Armenpress by the Department of Information and Public Diplomacy of the RA Ministry of Foreign Affairs in response to the agency’s question as to who would carry out the minister’s duties following the resignation of acting Foreign Minister Ara Ayvazyan. Reports also circulated today among news outlets regarding the resignation of the deputy foreign ministers — do you confirm this information?
“By force of law, the performance of the minister’s duties is carried out by the longest-serving deputy, which does not entail the adoption of a separate legal act. At this moment, all deputy ministers of the RA MFA continue to perform their duties. As for the rest, we do not comment.”
