Tu esday, 22 December 2009
On completion of Iran-Armenia gas pipeline construction and on power
engineers’ professional holiday, a number of Armenian power engineers
have been presented with the premier’s commemorative medals and
letters of appreciation. During a ceremonious event, Prime Minister
Tigran Sargsyan handed in the awards.
Speaking about the reform and the accomplishments of the energy
sector, the head of government stated in part: "This event has brought
together outstanding personalities with important contribution to the
energy sector. The system faces highly challenging tasks: firstly, the
construction of a new nuclear reactor which has economic and political
dimensions and is supposed to change the situation drastically;
secondly, the thermal power plant project which is nearing completion
and, finally, the other major projects."
Highly appreciative of the efforts made by Armenian power engineers,
the Prime Minister assured of his government’s readiness to back any
energy-related project. He wished them all the best in the New Year
and expressed hope that the year 2010 will be blessed with sustained
development and every success.
