Relations of economy minister and deputy minister not tense

During a briefing with journalists in the government building today, Deputy Minister of Economy Ms. Karine Minasian refuted the rumors that her relations with Economy Minister Vahram Avanesian have become tense.

“The minister just feels unwell. The rumors are baseless speculation,” she noted.

‘Chorrord Inknishkahnutyun paper’ recently wrote that conflict is brewing in the Ministry of Economy as Minister Vahram Avanesian is dissatisfied with the fact that First Deputy Minister Karine Minasian coordinates work of the commission dealing with procedures for entry into the Customs Union.
