ArmInfo. Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan introduced the new head of the department Andranik Piloyan to the staff of the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
According to the press service of the government, the prime minister noted that the sector and nature of work in the Ministry of Emergency Situations is completely new for Andranik Piloyan, since the latter is transferred to the Ministry from the army. "But, in fact, the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the Rescue Service are also part of our Armed Forces, and in this regard, we can say that the changes are not so great," the prime minister said.
Expressing gratitude to ex-Minister of Emergency Situations Feliks Tsolakyan for the work done and to the units of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, which played a very active role during the war, Nikol Pashinyan added: "I think it is important that the Rescue Service, in general, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, develops further, taking into account our new challenges, our new needs, of course, relying on what has been effective so far."
Andranik Piloyan thanked the Prime Minister for the high confidence shown. He noted that in the course of work in the Ministry of Emergencies, he will try to introduce all the best acquired in the army into this structure, and to multiply what the former Minister of Emergency Situations Feliks Tsolakyan has invested.
"In any case, I am here at your call, with only one condition - to be useful to our nation and homeland," he stressed.
