The citizens of the Republic of Armenia have given a mandate to the authorities to establish the dictatorship of law in the Republic of Armenia. In the new conditions, I expect more effective actions, more decisive actions and more specific actions from the Investigative Committee to meet people’s expectations.

Of course, very important work has been done, but we must constantly strive towards ensuring the efficiency, pace and effective results of the preliminary investigation. I hope that this work will be accomplished under the leadership of Mr. Kyaramyan. I am sure that Mr. Grigoryan, with his vast experience, will assist Mr. Kyaramyan in this activity. Mr. Grigoryan, let me once again thank you for the work done and in general for your willingness to continue serving in a different status for the benefit of the Republic of Armenia and the Armenian people. Mr. Kyaramyan, I would like to wish you success in this important position,” Nikol Pashinyan said.

There has always been a high level of trust in us and let me express my deep gratitude to you and my colleagues,” – the former Chairman of the Investigative Committee said.
