YEREVAN, June 11. /ARKA/. Arthur Javadyan, the present chairman of the Central Bank of Armenia, is leaving his post, but will remain in the financial and banking system of the country, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said at a government meeting on Thursday.

You will continue to remain in our common business, and about that we will make a decision very soon,” the premier said, adding that as chairman of the central bank, Javadyan is present at the government meeting for the last time.
