Lucas Papademos was named Prime Minister of Greece on Thursday. He will
lead a unity government that has pledged to quickly approve the tough
terms of a European aid package and save the country from bankruptcy.
The choice of Mr. Papademos, a former vice president of the European
Central Bank, came after four days of tense negotiations that put
Greece’s feuding political parties on full display.
Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan sent a congratulatory message
to his newly appointed Greek counterpart. The message reads, in part:
“Taking office at this most important point of European and Greek
history is an extremely responsible mission, since the events in
Greece are in the focus of world attention.”
“You have worked effectively in the capacity of the Chairman of the
Central Bank of Armenia and have made a considerable contribution
to the strengthening of the European Central Bank. I’m confident you
will succeed now,” PM Tigran Sargsyan wrote.
The Armenian Prime Minister wished strength, vigor and success to Mr.
Papademos in overcoming the problems friendly Greece faces as soon
as possible.
