RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan, at the start of today’s
parliamentary session, appealed to attendees to focus their attention
on an important issue, reports the Government of the Republic of
Armenia information and public affairs department.
"I want to begin this parliamentary session by drawing your
attention to an important issue. As you are aware, my colleague,
Nagorno-Karabakh Prime Minister Ara Harutyunyan, is in the United
States at the moment. The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund has organized
a fundraising drive and, as you know, this year’s theme is Shushi,
[and] Shushi’s reconstruction work. I think that you’ll agree with me,
that Shushi’s reconstruction is an issue of national dignity for us.
"In that sense, we are all obliged to participate in the fundraising
drive and by making our own contribution, [and] also to direct our
families, friends and colleagues [to do the same], so that there is
wide participation in this process. My family and I will likewise
be participating in this fundraising drive, we will be making our
contribution, and with that, directing all of our friends, families,
those dear to us [to do the same]. All those officials found here
must set an example for their colleagues and those around them,"
stated Tigran Sargsyan.
