On the occasion of New Year and Holy Christmas, acting Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan along with President of Armenia Armen Sarkissian, Speaker of the Parliament Ara Babloyan and the Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II hosted a reception for the representatives of the state administration.

In his welcome message, the acting PM spoke of the mission ahead of the new cabinet in the coming new year.

“Our cabinet is a cabinet of mission which is set to realize its mission as it is formulated and rested upon the faith and confidence of our people toward the past and the future. The mission is also based upon the perception that the t people that have persisted through centuries of disasters cannot suffer a defeat as if we were destined to lose we would have lost long ago. Subsequently, the Armenian people is a winning nation it proved to be in 2018,” Pashinyan said in his speech.

“I congratulate you all on 2018 and 2019 alike. I am confident that like 2018, the year 2019 will be a year of victories but of more comprehensive and strategic nature. In the new year 2019, I wish you and your families happiness, and success in both your professional and personal endeavors,” Pashinyan concluded his speech.
