President of Armenia will not change the government

YEREVAN, April 9. /ARKA/. On Friday during the working visit in Tavush
region, President of Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan announced that he is not
going to change the Government or the Prime Minister.

`I could understand these rumors in the period of crisis when economic
decline in Armenia was 15%. But they are not understandable now when
the economy is recovering gradually’, said Sargsyan.

`Changing two-three government members is a normal process and is not
related to resignation of the Prime Minister and the government’, said
Sargsyan.

Recently several ministers have changed, particularly the Minister of
Social Welfare, Minister of Emergency Situations and Minister of
Transport and Communications.

There are rumors about resignation of Tigran Sargsyan, Prime Minister
of Armenia and assignment of Robert Kocharyan, the Second President of
Armenia to this position. –0–
