The Prime Minister wished Arsen Torosyan success in his new status  and formulated the task set before him. "In general, all of us -  representatives of the public administration system, responsible for  the situation in the country, have gone through very difficult times.  The war period was very difficult for all of us. And now in the  post-war period there are many difficulties and challenges that need  to be effectively dealt with.  The public administration system needs  restart, and that restart should definitely start with the Prime  Minister's Office. This restart is the main task assigned to Mr.  Torosyan, and, of course, not only Mr.  Torosyan, but all of us, "the  head of the Armenian government said.

According to Nikol Pashinyan, in the new situation it is necessary to  establish a new benchmark for public administration, which, in fact,  should be aimed at serving society. "We must take the quality of this  service to a completely new level," the Prime Minister said.

Former Chief of Office of the Prime Minister Eduard Aghajanyan  thanked the Prime Minister for his confidence. "It is clear that we  have gone through very difficult days together. But we can say that  we have definitely overcome those difficult days with honor. I would  also like to express special gratitude to the staff of the apparatus,  each of them for their effective work over the past two and a half  years. I am sure that this efficiency will not decrease under the new  leadership. I wish Mr. Torosyan success, " Eduard Aghajanyan said.

In turn, Arsen Torosyan thanked the Prime Minister for entrusting him  with responsible work. "I would like to thank Mr. Aghajanyan for his  work, assure us that we will keep this high bar. Along with the  solution of the issues you have identified, we will try to improve it  even more. We will immediately begin to fulfill our obligations in  full. I am sure that we will take serious steps in the direction you  indicated, " the newly appointed Chief of Staff said.
