Democracy in Armenian will never degrade. Our acquisitions of last year of creating strong and developing democracy are irreversible and are guaranteed by the improved constitution.

“Me taking the role of the Prime Minster is due to one simple circumstance: in this region with complicated geopolitics and during this period full of new challenges we ought to ensure the secure development of the country and continue making efforts in looking for ways for dignified solutions of the Artsakh issue”.

(...) According to my understanding, these issues are possible to solve, after which the other political figures can take the lead of the country. In this important job we will be relying on the potential of “Luys” community”, stated the Prime Minister.
