I am resigning from the position of Lori Province Governor and terminating my political and party activities. Aram Ghazaryan, the governor of Armenia’s Lori Province, noted this in a statement he issued on Monday.

"This decision is due to the fact of moving to another job, about which the competent [Armenian] authorities will act in a proper manner and within the specified time limits..

I would like to express special gratitude to the RA [(Republic of Armenia)] prime minister for the trust and the great honor that gave me the opportunity to serve my native Lori Province as provincial governor," Ghazaryan added, in particular.
