Ashot Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 (edited) Every Armenian has the right to be proud of having had a Prime Minister like Andranik Margaryan 25.03.2008 16:56 RA President Robert Kocharyan, President-Elect, Prime Minister Serge Sargsyan, Speaker of RA National Assembly Tigran Torosyan attended the Pantheon after Komitas on the occasion of the first anniversary of death of the ex-Prime Minister of Armenia Andranik Margaryan to lay flowers at his grave. They were accompanied by RA Deputy Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan, Defense Minister Michael Harutyunyan, the Mayor of Yerevan Yervand Zakharyan, Prosecutor General Aghvan Hovsepyan, RA Chief of Police Hayk Harutyunyan, Ministers, Members of Parliament, representatives of the Republican and other Parties. The leader of the Araratian Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church Navasard Archbishop Kchoyan served a requiem mass at the Pantheon. According to member of the Republican Party faction Galust Sahakyan, Andranik Margaryan was a great romantic, he could best develop his image of a political and state figure. “Andranik Margaryan remained the memory of people, because people managed to create an image and point out what kind of a statesman it would follow.” According to member of the Republican Party faction Samvel Nikoyan, the atmosphere of tolerance and cooperation that Andranik Margaryan managed to create around himself in the political filed and in the state, was his great achievement. “His main admonition was that everything should be done for every citizen to feel part of this state and family, for every person to be able to make his contribution to the development and reinforcement of the country, since any newly formed statehood needs it,” he noted. “I have the impression that he is with us. This one year passed very quickly, but the wound has not been healed yet. He was a national politician, and we should note with pain that the word “national” with which we characterize politicians is very rare among us today,” Chairman of the Central Bank of Armenia Tigran Sargsyan said. The Chairman of the NA Standing Committee on Standing Committee on Financial-Credit and Budgetary Affairs Gagik Minasyan said every citizen today has the right to be proud that our country has had a Prime Minister like Andranik Margaryan.
