Yerevan /Mediamax/. Elected Armenian President, Prime Minister Serzh
Sarkisian stated today that the government members are "passive"
in the issue of providing objective information on the situation in
the country to international organizations.

Mediamax reports that Serzh Sarkisian said this at the session of
the government today. The Prime Minister proposed the members of
the cabinet to carefully study all materials, received by official
channels.

"I assure you that this information is true, and you can base on
those facts without doubts", Serzh Sarkisian stated.

"Thank God, our Army managed to once again prove that it is an
established institution and it actively reacted to the existing
threats. We described the given situation in the National Security
Strategy, when many people thought that it was only a theoretical
situation, that such a thing is impossible. Unfortunately, it is
possible", Serzh Sarkisian noted.

"I urge all of you to be active. We will be consistent for all the
guilty to be punished. This is not even a promise; this is the duty,
which I fulfill", the Prime Minister stated.
