Yerevan, 5 April: Armenian President Robert Kocharyan held a government
session today and introduced to the cabinet members Serzh Sargsyan,
who was appointed Armenian prime minister on 4 April.
"I think that there is no need to introduce Serzh Sargsyan. I will
just recall that he has been a member of government since 1993 and
worked at the presidential administration for six months during this
period of time. He worked as defence minister in the past eight and
half years and commanded the Armenian army, which we all are proud
of. It is difficult to assess Sargsyan’s contribution to the formation
of the army.
"I have known him personally for a long time. Serzh Sargsyan is
a hard-working, decent and logical person. I am sure that at this
responsible period he will be able to lead the government, especially
in view of the fact that we actually do not have other people with
such experience," the press service of the government quoted the
president as saying today.
Kocharyan urged the government members to organize their work in the
run-up to the presidential election in a way that will ensure that
the ministries’ work schedules are not disrupted.
