DEATH OF ARMENIAN PRIME MINISTER
YEREVAN, MARCH 25, ARMENPRESS: US Charge d’Affaires
in Armenia Anthony Godfrey sent a message of
condolences on the death of the Armenian Prime
Minister Andranik Margarian.
An official from U.S. embassy in Armenia told
Armenpress that the message particularly said, "The
United States joins Armenians in mourning the untimely
loss of Prime Minister Andranik Margarian. We honor
Prime Minister Margarian’s lifelong contributions to
Armenian life, from his work with the dissident
National Unity Party during the 1960s and 1970s,
through independent Armenia’s emergence from Soviet
rule, and as the head of government since 2000.
The prime minister has been a valuable partner of
the United States, especially in his capacity as
Chairman of the Governing Council of the Millennium
Challenge Account – Armenia, which was built on a firm
organizational foundation. I would like to extend my
condolences to the Armenian people on this sad day."
