With Mane Tandilyan, we will find more effective solutions. President of Artsakh

The President of Artsakh, Araik Harutyunyan, wrote on his Facebook page: "Dear compatriots, according to the decrees I signed today, Mikael Samveli Virabyen has been dismissed from the position of Minister of Labor, Social Affairs, and Housing of the Republic of Artsakh due to his transition to another position, while Mane Vania Tandilyan has been appointed to that position.

Mikael Virabyen demonstrated high professionalism during his short time in office; however, given the current circumstances, I find Mane Tandilyan's candidacy appropriate, considering her experience and knowledge as I expect that we will find more effective solutions to alleviate the social tensions existing in the country.

During the meeting held today, I also expressed my sincere gratitude to Mrs. Tandilyan for her willingness to accept the job offer during this difficult post-war period."

Mane Tandilyan, for her part, wrote: "Dear compatriots, during my time in Artsakh, having become acquainted with the situation and having discussions with the President of Artsakh and other officials, I realized a simple truth: one of the main reasons for our failures is the lost time, which has occurred over decades, perhaps even more. Therefore, at this moment, we must work every day, create, and strengthen our homeland; otherwise, we will again be talking about yet another missed opportunity years later.

The tragedy that has occurred has also created personal and family tragedies for many, and we must urgently at least alleviate the pain of those families by providing sacred care and necessary support. For the realization of all this, I consider my effective involvement directed at reviving Artsakh as the Minister of Labor, Social Affairs, and Housing of Artsakh, which I am sure will allow us to quickly address the social issues of the citizens of Artsakh, aiming to ensure the return of Artsakh citizens in the short term by creating quality living and working conditions."
