There is always a need for that help, and with your help new ideas will be born, and they will also become a reality. There is one important circumstance that I would like to mention that inspired me. You have given freedom of action, while at the same time stating that the most important thing in that freedom is responsibility. And, as a minister, I have worked with that responsibility, feeling that what we do, we do together with the government, we contribute to the implementation of the government's ideas. As for the further work, it will turn out that I cannot stay away, since I am also responsible for the programs implemented by the government, and indeed, I have to have my participation in creating a truly harmonious atmosphere in the Republic of Armenia. Anyway, I will do my best to record real success and new achievements. Together with you, I congratulate Mr. Khachatryan, wishing him success together with the team. I am convinced that the effect of the assessments voiced by the Honorable Prime Minister will be that you will deserve such assessments again," Vahagn Khachaturyan said.

"There is an already formed team in the ministry, works started on a very good basis, in which Mr. Khachaturyan and my former colleagues in the person of Mr. Arshakyan, Mr. Chobanyan played a very big role. If we continue all this in the correct way, I'm sure we will succeed. Now it’s important to continue the programs that have already started, we will think about new ones in the future."
