“At this stage our aim is to form a Government of national unity, where the implementation of solutions will be on the basis of common responsibility. The Constitutional amendments have been exactly about that… The Government of national unity is not about prowling towards a title for those unfulfilled individuals, but is about the widest allocation and sharing of political responsibility”, - President Serzh Sargsyan said in a statement today on August 1, speaking in the aftermath of a standoff following the seizure of police station in Yerevan by an armed group “Daredevils of Sassoun”, which was resolved yesterday late in the evening with peaceful surrender of the gunmen.

Speaking to a gathering of a group of artists, medical workers, media representatives, political and community leaders, members of the Public Council, as well as representatives of the government, Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II and the clergymen, President assured that within few months there will be such a government in Armenia.

“I am not speaking to those acting in the manner of terrorists, nor about those gunmen hiding their aims under the veil of patriotism or caring for social justice, but about our people who are concerned about all this. Indeed, the authorities are not perfect. Yes, there are a number of ills and difficult challenges in Armenia. And we are determined to facilitate the resolution of these issues”, - the President concluded.
