Today Armenia PM Hovik Abrahamyan resigned his office and gave a speech at the meeting of the Armenian Government:

“During all my political biography I have been fighting against political gaps attempting to build bridges for cooperation. The body I headed was open for any dialogue and for the discussion of any sound idea. We have made many efforts to form dialogue with all the sectors of society: I had meetings with scientists, land workers, art historians, merchants it doesn’t matter whether they were allies or opponents. I had meetings with everybody and honestly presented all existing limitations and gave realistic solutions to certain problems.
Our honest and realistic approaches had their results, but the society still remained polarized. Although daily work and 25 years of independence built with the bravery of our soldiers defending our borders, we are still a country with transition problems, where we need joint efforts to improve current economic and social situation. For this purpose, we need new approaches and new launch.

For this reason, I have decided to give a resignation letter and enable the President of the Republic to form a new government. We should think about the success of each and give a chance to the new government to combine the society based on the work done and with new approaches.

The works on irrigation systems viable for agriculture are at full swing, while governmental priority – construction of reservoirs, have been launched and are being implemented.
Under the conditions of unprecedented decrease in metal prices, the government has supported the mining and Amulsar project has been launched with ensures numerous working places.

The largest investment into Armenian economy was made – US $ 180 million was invested into the Vorotan Cascade, which will ensure the re-equipment and reliable exploitation of the complex. Despite the external economic shock recorded in 2015, the economy recorded an economic growth of 3% in contrast to the negative tendencies existing in the region.
In close cooperation with the civil society the governments has drafted a number of legislative initiatives aimed at combating corruption.

Finishing my speech I would like to thank all for this joint work and tell you that I will continue my mission of overcoming current gaps in the society as an active participant of political life.”
