Newly appointed ministers introduced by the Prime Minister
Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan called at the ministries of finance, economy and justice to introduce newly appointed ministers Vache Gabrielyan, Tigran Davtysn and Hrair Tovasyan.
Introducing newly appointed minister Vache Gabrielyan to the staff of the Ministry of Finance, the head of government evoked the priority tasks facing the ministry and the future programs of the government.
Tigran Sargsyan emphasized that Vache Gabrialyan’s long experience in the financial system adds to his awareness of the goals of reforms: “I am convinced that Vache Gabrialyan’s assumption to the office will be very smooth since he has long-standing partners in the ministry.”
The recent changes in the system of governance were said to be aimed at mobilizing the existing capacity, as well as the achievements and know-how ahead of the new tide of post-crisis reforms.
Introducing newly appointed Minister of Justice Hrair Tovmasyan and congratulating him on appointment, the Prime Minister said to be highly appreciative of his professional skills and human qualities. In the words of Tigran Sargsyan, Hrair Tovmasyan’s deep knowledge and wide experience may help him promote the reforms stipulated in the program of the government: “It should be noted that Hrair Tovmasyan is well versed in administrative affairs since he used to be deputy minister and member of Constitutional Court staff. I am convinced that his professional experience will serve him on this post.”
Evoking his public statements concerning the dismissal of the former justice minister, the head of government highlighted the need for the new minister to deal with serious management-related problems facing the system. “The ministry staff are believed to live up to the tasks specified in the President’s electoral platform and the program of the government,” Tigran Sargsyan said.
Congratulating once again Hrair Tovmasyan on appointment to such a high post, the Prime Minister said his efforts will be followed closely by the public.
Newly appointed Minister of Economy Tigran Davtyan was next to be introduced to the ministry staff. Congratulating Mr. Davtyan on appointment, the Prime Minister said the new minister did not need introducing as he had had quite a long experience at Ministry of Economy: “He was a colleague of yours all along his years-long service as deputy minister, in particular. So, he is familiar with task, and I am confident that the know-how gained at the post of finance minister may help him have a deeper understanding of those challenges facing the economy and the State as a whole,” the Prime Minister pointed out.
The head of government thanked ex-minister Nerses Yeritsyan for due diligence at the post of minister of economy: “He will be given a new task within the team which means that we will make a better use of existing potentialities.”
According to the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Economy faces a twofold task of high responsibility: reform and international cooperation, inclusive of euro-integration which are the key to overall success. “Those reforms are widely known to have both economic and political aspects. Therefore, you are shaping our country’s future in substance as well. Our economic model is the basis of all public and economic relations.”
Thanking the President and the Premier for confidence, the newly appointed ministers assured of their determination and readiness to spare no effort for the achievement of those targets specified in the program of the government.
