President of Armenia introduced new Prime Minister to government
President of Armenia Robert Kocharian held a session of the RA government April 4, the Press Office of the Armenian Government reports. Before passing to discussion of issues included in the agenda, the President introduced to the cabinet his order on appointing Serzh Sargsyan as Armenia's Prime Minister. "May be there is no need in introducing Serzh Sargsyan to you, I'd like only to remind that he is a member of cabinet from 1993 up today, and 6 months from this period he has worked in the RA presidential administration. He occupied the post of RA Defense Minister more than 8 years. The army that we are proud of and Serzh Sargsyan's personal contribution to strengthening our armed forces is difficult to appreciate. I know Serzh Sargsyan for a long time as an industrious, responsible and consistent person. I am sure on this responsible moment he is able to lead the government, we do not have another person with such a huge experience," Robert Kocharian said.
