Nairi Sargsyan Issues Statement After Dismissal

Dear compatriots, it was a great honor for me to serve as the assistant to the leader of the revolution, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, after the revolution. I have worked with great love and dedication; it was a pleasure to help those who came to us with various issues.

During the last 3.5 years, I have spent little time with my family and friends, and now I will have the opportunity to fill that gap and relax a bit.

I thank Nikol Pashinyan for trusting me with this high position. Together we have gone through very difficult times—war, pandemic, two snap elections, and so on.

I will continue to remain loyal to our political team and will support as much as I can. I thank all my former and current colleagues who have worked with me, and I am grateful to all our compatriots who have supported and empowered me during this time.
