Attended by RA President Armen Sarkissian, today, for the first time in Armenia’s history, the members of the new government were sworn in at the Presidential Palace.

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan was the first to take the floor and read out the text of the oath: “For the sake of achieving the national goals and strengthening the Homeland, I swear to fulfill in good faith all the duties assumed before the people, observe the Constitution and laws, promote the sovereignty and the interests of the Republic of Armenia, remain committed to the high office of member of government.”

Then the other members of government took turns to swear solemnly to the nation. At the end of the oath-taking ceremony, President Sarkissian congratulated the Prime Minister and the Cabinet members, wishing them fruitful and productive work for the benefit of the Homeland and the Armenian people.

Note that the government’s oath-taking comes as a novelty in our country’s political and public management culture.
