As it has already been reported, the Minister of Environment Erik Grigoryan has been relieved of his post. He writes about this.

“Dear compatriots,

According to my own application, I have been relieved of the post of Minister of Environment, I would like to make a report on the work done during the last two years.

The works were carried out by the efforts of the ministry’s subordinate structures, for which I thank our team, I am proud of you.

Yes, our work did not find a place in these pervasive sensational and ‘like seeking’ information flows, as we were more busy building a system rather than making noise about it.

The entire staff of the Ministry of Environment, despite the criticism and often unfair treatment, has done its best to solve the problems inherited for decades.

A state cannot be built and strengthened if the work of a civil servant is not respected, from a first-class specialist to a prime minister and a president.

In all our actions, we have been guided only by the state interest and the right of the citizen of the Republic of Armenia to have a healthy environment.

I would like to thank Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and my government colleagues for their cooperation and joint efforts.

After all, protecting the environment is the job of each of us, regardless of profession, workplace or preferences.
