the Mayor of Yerevan Yervand Zakharyan, Prosecutor General Aghvan
Hovsepyan, RA Chief of Police Hayk Harutyunyan, Ministers, Members of
Parliament, representatives of the Republican and other Parties. The
leader of the Araratian Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church
Navasard Archbishop Kchoyan served a requiem mass at the Pantheon.
According to member of the Republican Party faction Galust Sahakyan,
Andranik Margaryan was a great romantic, he could best develop his
image of a political and state figure. "Andranik Margaryan remained
the memory of people, because people managed to create an image and
point out what kind of a statesman it would follow."
According to member of the Republican Party faction Samvel Nikoyan, the
atmosphere of tolerance and cooperation that Andranik Margaryan managed
to create around himself in the political filed and in the state, was
his great achievement. "His main admonition was that everything should
be done for every citizen to feel part of this state and family, for
every person to be able to make his contribution to the development
and reinforcement of the country, since any newly formed statehood
needs it," he noted.
"I have the impression that he is with us. This one year passed very
quickly, but the wound has not been healed yet. He was a national
politician, and we should note with pain that the word "national"
with which we characterize politicians is very rare among us today,"
Chairman of the Central Bank of Armenia Tigran Sargsyan said.
The Chairman of the NA Standing Committee on Standing Committee on
Financial-Credit and Budgetary Affairs Gagik Minasyan said every
citizen today has the right to be proud that our country has had a
Prime Minister like Andranik Margaryan.
