ArmInfo. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan presented the newly appointed Minister Rustam Badasyan to the Ministry of Justice.

The Prime Minister said that he knows Badasyan as an intellectual, endowed with strong-willed qualities and a conscientious person who also has high professional skills. "Over the past year, Mr. Badasyan worked as Deputy Chairman of the State Revenue Committee and during this period he showed himself with the best way, demonstrating high organizational abilities. And I think it is important that today at this crucial stage Mr. Badasyan should lead reforms in the justice system. It's not a secret In this regard, we are at a decisive and eventful stage, and the government, the political majority, is aimed at forming a truly independent judiciary in Armenia. It is important for the Minister of Justice to fully control the situation and to take effective political steps to those political messages sent by the government, "the premier said.  Thanking the former Minister Artak Zeinalian for the work done, Pashinyan said that the latter is outside Armenia, therefore he is not present at today's event. At the same time, the prime minister expressed confidence that Zeynalyan's potential and experience could be used in state-building.

Addressing the new minister, Pashinyan stressed that creating a positive working atmosphere is very important for him. "I am sure that you are able to create such an atmosphere in order to motivate the Ministry of Justice and the system in general for positive, creative and innovative work," Nikol Pashinyan said.

Thanking the Prime Minister for his trust, the newly appointed Minister noted that it was quite a difficult task to head the Ministry after such a professional as Zeinalian. At the same time, he expressed confidence that with the professional apparatus he would be able to meet the expectations of the prime minister. He stressed that all strategic programs, in particular, anti-corruption, which is in circulation, should be designed in such a way that the public had a clear idea about the timing of their implementation and the expected result.

"I am confident that from now on we will draw up all our strategic documents exactly this way, and we will work as transparently as possible so that it is clear when everything will be ready, in what areas we have problems, and how to overcome them. I am tuned in a positive way of working with everyone in the name of fulfilling our goals, "the young minister concluded.
