YEREVAN. - The statement of the Armenian President in regard to the Government and Prime Minister was a mandate of trust.

Justice Minister of Armenia Arpine Hovhannisyan told the aforementioned to reporters in the National Assembly (NA) Monday.

To the question as to whether there have been promises related to her further office as a minister after the President's statement on that in case the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) wins, current PM Karen Karapetyan will continue to remain in that post, Hovhannisyan noted: ''Of course, no. I generally think that there is no such format of giving promises in connection with holding offices in the future. This is incorrect. The President's statement in connection with the Government and the Prime Minister was a mandate of trust to continue the policy of reforms, which the current Government is going to implement.''
