Pashinyan: after extraordinary parliamentary elections, the structure of the Armenian government will change a lot

ArmInfo. After the  extraordinary parliamentary elections, the structure of the Armenian  government will change dramatically. This was stated by. Armenian  Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on November 20 at a press conference.

According to Pashinyan, the number of ministries will be reduced by  at least 5, which in turn implies a reduction in the number of jobs.  "But these people can do business, find a more decent job than for 80  thousand to work in the state apparatus," the acting president said.  premiere.

Touching upon the criticism of the government, he noted that there  are objective and subjective points:  "There are people who, after  settling in the Government, began to solve questions of their friends  and relatives, but they were dismissed by my decree, now they are not  on the list, and they refer to the fact that there is no democracy in  the country ", the Prime Minister concluded, stressing that he would  be merciless to any miscalculations of his team, especially if it  comes to the risks of corruption. He also stated that he was not  always satisfied with his work. "I'm never completely satisfied with  my work," said Pashinyan.

"For example, a team of former authorities, most  of whom barely studied the letter, accuses our ministers of  illiteracy, ridicule them, mock banal typos and reservations. But who  are they to mock candidates of science, their young years are very  much in their field, "said Pashinyan, citing as an example the  anti-campaign against Health Minister Arsen Torosyan.

"You know why this campaign was launched, because he dared to attack  the" holy "- the father-in-law of the third president of Serzh  Sargsyan, Mikayel Minasyan. Meanwhile, what was happening in the  medical center headed by Ara Minasyan was simply unacceptable,  therefore Arsen Torosyan Mikael Minasyan became a target for media  magnate. And this happened because we did not take the media out of  the former authorities after we came to power, we did not  redistribute property, and this is a response to our tolerance, but  we don't intend to do so in the future. " , - summarized  Pashinyan.
