Armenian premier congratulates people on `establishment of peace` 

ArmInfo. "I would like to congratulate you all on the establishment of peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan as a result of the declaration signed in Washington on August 8," RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated at a government meeting on August 21.

He also thanked all members of the cabinet for the work done during  this time.

Pashinyan said that before leaving for Washington, discussions and  analysis of the texts were held with the participation of the  government, the expanded composition of the Security Council, the  President of Armenia, members of the ruling Civil Contract faction of  the National Assembly and heads of regions. "Before leaving for  Washington, I invited them so that we could hold consultations,  discuss and analyze the texts. And we came to the conclusion that  this step must be taken," Pashinyan said.

At the same time, the Prime Minister pointed out, this is not a  summary of their work, but its beginning. "I am convinced that with  this step we have entered a new development agenda, a new dimension  of development. And here the content and energy of our work must be  higher. The efficiency of our work must be higher. There is a lot of  work ahead.  This is constructive, peaceful, creative work. And we  must all be as focused as possible on this work," Pashinyan added.

He stressed the importance of public communication so that citizens  understand what the government is doing and why it is doing it. "Even  the greatest achievements are problematic if the genesis of these  successes is not clear to the public," the head of the Cabinet noted.

Nikol Pashinyan wished all members of the government success in this  "new, creative stage of institutionalization of peace."
