Over time, the residence at Baghramyan 26 will be returned to the presidential office.  RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced this at today’s government session.


It should be noted that the draft decision on defining the location of the Prime Minister’s office was discussed at the session. According to the Minister of Justice, the decision of the Prime Minister “On approving the charter and structure of the Prime Minister’s Office” was studied and taken into account when developing the project, in point 7 of which it is stated that the location of the office is in the Republic of Armenia, city Yerevan, Marshal Baghramyan Avenue 26 and Republic Square, Government House 1. 

Pashinyan said that this issue has aroused great public interest, they are even reminded of what they once criticized. According to Pashinyan, they found themselves in a strange situation because the Prime Minister is stationed in two buildings.   

“We accept this decision to fulfill the requirement of the law. I want to record that over time it will be returned to the President’s Office. Currently, there is a procedural problem to be solved, there are agenda responsibilities, and since the Prime Minister is the head of the state according to the Constitution, some issues on the agenda are related to building conditions. But we will make what we criticized a reality. an institutional approach should not be taken to the issues,” the prime minister assured.


Nikol Pashinyan said that they will study how they can solve this problem. But it is comfortable for him to work in the government building, so later it will be recorded by government decisions and the prime minister will have one residence.
