YEREVAN, April 10. /ARKA/. Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargssyan
believes that the Central Bank personnel "are composed of a group of
committed people who are all able to solve the most serious tasks set
before the country." "I am sure the young and talented people working
in the Central Bank can be useful both for the bank and our people,"
Sargssyan told reporters.
Armenian president Serge Sargssyan signed a decree April 9 appointing
Central Bank Chairman Tigran Sargssyan to the post of the country's
prime minister. Armenian Parliament accepted the resignation of Tigran
Sargssyan from the post of CBA Chairman.
Speaking of his appointment to the prime-minister's post Sargssyan
said "everything happened so quickly and unexpectedly that I need
time to summarize my activity of past ten years."
"I think I will have time to sum up the results of the ten-year work,
especially given the fact that in a certain period of time I will have
a chance to compare the peculiarities, advantages and shortcomings
of the work in the CBA and in the Government," he stressed.
Asked about the possible candidate to the post of the future CBA
chairman, the premier urged reporters to be as reserved as possible
in this issue, since putting names of possible candidates into
circulation both fetter the candidate and makes the situation uneasy
for the country's president.
Sargssyan refused to comment on the issue further. "It is up to the
president to make the decision and he is authorized to do it basing
on his own opinion," he said to close the issue.
