I wouldn’t say all current officials’ work is ideal or they are the saints of all saints. This is what Governor of Kotayk Province of Armenia Romanos Petrosyan told reporters in parliament today.

“People make mistakes, including officials, but those mistakes shouldn’t have an impact on our rating and the outcomes of our work. Brilliant evidence of this are the changes of heads of government agencies that have taken place over the past year-and-a-half,” he said and added that he admits that the authorities’ rating might have dropped.

“I don’t rule out the fact that our rating might have dropped due to the threats of the pandemic and the economic consequences, but we are completely doing what the people have trusted us to do. Demanding the government’s resignation in the current conditions is a blow to not only our political force, but also the security of the state and people. Let’s overcome the pandemic with honor and then sit around a table and talk with arguments.”
