He expressed the hope that in the new political situation the appointment of a new head of the department will open a new page in the activities of the SC and in the relationship between the Investigative Committee and the society. "I think that the logic of this appointment is clear: we want a qualitative change of generations both in the political life of Armenia and in all spheres of public life, as a result of which the best that exists, including in the UK, was preserved and developed, and the negative, which is also there, was no more, you know that in the current situation we attach great importance to the rule of law, the fight against crime, criminal thinking, corruption, and this is the most important process in the social life of Armenia, but we also stress that our task in these Essays - do not fill the prisons with people, our task is to ensure legality in the Republic of Armenia, and in the fight against corruption, our task is also to compensate the damage inflicted on the state and people to the last kopeck. I hope that the SC with its huge resource and energy will sincerely take this work," said Nikol Pashinyan.

I think that in recent years there has been a process of deterioration of relations between investigative bodies and society, distrust, and I hope that in the new times there will be an opposite process.
