Armenia is in the midst of a major political reshuffle designed to stem the government's growing unpopularity among the Armenian people. In August, President Serzh Sarkisian announced plans to form a "government of national accord," following a controversial hostage crisis in the country in July. A new Armenian prime minister, Karen Karapetyan, was appointed last week after his predecessor, Hovik Abrahamyan , resigned. Now, it appears that the country's Defense Ministry will be included in the changes. According to a Sept. 12 report from Interfax that cited an unnamed source in Armenia's government, Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan may be named the next secretary-general of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO). If confirmed, Ohanyan's appointment, which could be announced Oct. 14 at an upcoming CSTO Security Council meeting, would signal an important shift in the organization.
