On December 5, Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan had a meeting with the representatives of media and answered their questions. Aravot.am first reminded the Prime Minister of his observation made during the discussions organized within the framework of the events on the 110th anniversary of the Armenian General Benevolent Union, saying that the government has invited such members who will not look right and left, and then asked whether a man can have the feature to be contented. The Prime Minister answered the question with a question, “And do you have the feature to be contented? The feature to be contented does not depend on the amount of money and the thickness of the purse, I know many people that if the word to be contented is correct then they are contented in this sense.”
To the observation of Aravot.am that the appointments of government members gave rise to the criticism, particularly in the sense that the government is supplemented by people who were accompanying the Prime Minister in his earlier work, in this sense, even giving rise to humor that the government is gasified, Karen Karapetyan noted, “When selecting my team I am choosing the people who will not use their position for personal enrichment and business lobby. If it will not be the case, I will be the first to reprimand them and prevent it.”
He added, “When selecting the team, I choose people who have passed the way with me. And when talking about the gasification, this number is not many. But how do you imagine selecting my team? When selecting the team, during the selection of my colleagues, I have had a lot of problems, there are people whom I have appointed upfront because I did not have a better candidate at that time. Unfortunately, we must state that the reserve platform of our personnel is not very big. If you have good staff whom you see and who can manage certain industries, I would be just grateful if you give this information to me, and we will have this database, in the future, we are going to have the need for new staff and I will be glad discuss it.”
