YEREVAN, APRIL 12, NOYAN TAPAN. In connection with reappointment
of RA government members Prime Minister Serge Sargsian said that
naturally, no changes were envisaged in the government’s staff, as
it was just not expedient to make new appointments in the one-month
period preceding RA NA elections. At the beginning of RA government’s
April 12 sitting the Prime Minister expressed confidence that with
this staff the government is able to successfully solve the problem
of continuing its normal work.
According to the report provided to Noyan Tapan from RA government
Information and Public Relations Department, S. Sargsian at the same
time emphasized that all members of government have been appointed by
RA President’s decree, with the exception of the Defence Minister and
this means that the government has not been formed yet. In his words,
the Defence Minister will be also appointed in the term established
by the law, after which the government’s program will be submitted
to RA NA.
Touching upon the future developments, Prime Minister Serge Sargsian
said: "If we succeed at the elections and if we are charged to form
the next government, we should make some changes without fail. At
that time we will observe, discuss in detail the work of each of
us and will see where, with what status we can do more good to our
country and economy."
The Prime Minister asked the government members to work in more
disciplined way, with more responsibility in the coming month, because,
in his words, "the most important problem faced by the state, holding
of normal elections, is important for all of us and the government
has much to do in this issue.
Especially as, unfortunately, it is already obvious that there are
some forces, who have already set themselves the task to impede the
normal process of elections."
S. Sargsian emphasized that the incidents that happened previously,
the attempt upon life of Gyumri Mayor and other incidents could be
supposed to be connected with the elections, while the explosions
committed at preelection headquarters of political forces this night
unequivocally show that there are some people, for whom holding
of normal elections is not beneficial. "No matter representatives
of what political force they are, they are enemies, enemies of the
state, our people, holding of normal free, democratic elections,"
the Prime Minister said.
He called all members of government as representatives of various
political forces for contributing to spreading of their party ideology
through good work. S. Sargsian emphasized that he has adopted such
policy in this preelectoral period.
