YEREVAN, APRIL 4, ARMENPRESS: Armenian President Robert Kocharian
visited today members of the government after the session and thanked
them for the joint long-lasting work.
Governmental press service told Armenpress that the president
particularly said, "I had a special wish to come here to express
gratitude to all of you for the joint long-lasting work. I am thankful
to the fate that I had luck to bear responsibility for Armenia during
10 years. There were very interesting, difficult and full years. The
country has passed a large way of development. A large-scale of reforms
have been conducted in the country in all the spheres and of course
the main aim of the reforms was the modernization of the country.
The results are obvious: the life quality of our citizens has notably
improved but we all must realize that we have still a lot to do. The
new president and the government face many challenges and issues
the solution of which is not less difficult and less responsible
and fatal for the country. They are first of all the reforms of the
second generation in the economic sphere which need more professional
approaches and greater efforts and we must take into consideration
that all this will be in more difficult period of time as by all
predictions the global economy is expecting to fall.
The Republic of Armenia continues facing the security issue. During the
last years the world has not become more secure, our region continues
to be full of controversies and it is necessary to undertake successful
steps for more consolidation of the country's security. Of course
all this must be combined with flexible and relevant diplomatic steps.
I am sure that steps must be undertaken for consolidation of basis
of the statehood. There are forces outside as well which do not want
to see stable and prosperous Armenia. Also, unfortunately, they are
figures outside who are ready to serve the purpose.
Weak, easily affected country cannot ensure its security and the
security of its citizens and cannot ensure serious democratic
achievements which we had during these years, and, of course, I
encourage and wish that the future president, government succeed in
confronting all those challenges. Thank you all. I wish all of you
high mood and all the best."
