Arayik Harutyunyan, Artsakh’s (Nagorno Karabakh) President issued a statement regarding his decision to offer Philanthropist and businessman, “Aurora Prize for Humanity” co-founder Ruben Vardanyan to take the position of the State Minister.
“Dear compatriots,
I would like to inform you about a significant decision made by me.
I offered Ruben Vardanyan, a philanthropist, highly experienced and knowledgeable public figure, whose decision to move to Artsakh I welcomed among the first, to assume the position of State Minister of the Artsakh Republic, ready to grant him broad powers of making decisions and acting.
One can write a long story about Ruben, touch upon his courageous decisions, devotion to the Motherland and people. However, today is exclusively the time to act and I am waiting for his decision on my offer. I hope we will start our cooperation in the coming weeks. I will inform about more details further on.
This, for sure, does not mean I do not appreciate the work of acting State Minister Artak Beglaryan, but taking into account the existing challenges, I consider it necessary to unite the entire national potential” Harutyunyan said in a statement.
