Swearing-In Ceremony of the Members of the Government of the Republic of Armenia took place

A swearing-in ceremony for the members of the Government of the Republic of Armenia took place at the Presidential Residence in the presence of President Vahagn Khachaturyan.

President of the National Assembly Ruben Rubinyan, President of the Constitutional Court Arman Dilanyan, Chairman of the Supreme Council Arthur Atabekyan, and other high-ranking officials also attended the ceremony.

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan was the first to recite the oath: “For the sake of the continuity, independence, sovereignty and development of the Republic of Armenia, I swear to faithfully fulfill my duties as a member of the Government, uphold the Constitution and laws of the Republic of Armenia, serve the public interest, protect the state interest, contribute to the strengthening of the statehood and constitutional order of the Republic of Armenia, and act in the interests of present and future generations.”

All other members of the Government subsequently took the oath.

At the conclusion of the swearing-in ceremony, President Vahagn Khachaturyan congratulated the Prime Minister and the members of the Government and stated:

“Honorable Prime Minister,

Esteemed Members of the Government,

I congratulate you on assuming this important and responsible mission in public administration.

The oath you have taken today entails a profound responsibility before the Republic of Armenia and our citizens. It is a pledge of loyalty to statehood, the Constitution and the laws.

Serving as a member of the Government is a great honor, but it is also a weighty responsibility. The most important measure of your work is results—the resolution of the challenges facing the country, the improvement of people’s lives, and the strengthening of the state.

Armenia is facing serious challenges today. Overcoming them requires consistency, resilience and daily dedication. It is important to see the possibility of a solution in every challenge, to boldly seek new approaches and new ideas.

The world and our region are changing rapidly. This reality requires new thinking, initiative and the ability to anticipate the future from Armenia and from all of us. Seeking modern approaches, new opportunities and new pathways is one of the key conditions for the progress of our country.

Let the Constitution and the law, the primacy of the state interest, and responsibility toward the individual always remain at the core of your activities. Public office is, ultimately, service to the state and the citizen.

I am confident that your experience and knowledge, your work and dedication will serve the development and strengthening of the Republic of Armenia.

I wish you strength, perseverance and success in this responsible mission.

Congratulations.”
