United Nations General Assembly: Tribute to the late Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia, HE Mr Andranik Margaryan

Statement by HE Rosemary Banks, Permanent Representative of New Zealand on behalf of the Western European and Other States Group, 28 March 2007

On behalf of the Group of Western European and Other States, I would like to express our sincere condolences to the people and the Government of the Republic of Armenia on the passing of Prime Minister Andranik Margaryan.

During a term of office spanning almost seven years, Prime Minister Margaryan was regarded as a powerful force for peace and stability in the Republic. His efforts to build bridges across the political divide were widely lauded. Prime Minister Margaryan will be fondly remembered for his lifelong efforts to build an independent and prosperous nation.

On this sad occasion, our thoughts and sympathies are with the family and friends of Prime Minister Margaryan and the people and Government of the Republic of Armenia.
