    Armenian Prime Minister to be buried on March 28, President accepted
    the resignation of the government

    Yerevan, March 26 /Mediamax/. Armenian Prime Minister Andranik
    Margarian will be buried on March 28 in the Yerevan pantheon after
    Komitas. As Mediamax was told in the State Commission on Funeral
    Organization, the civil funeral will take place March 27 at 18:00 in
    the apartment of the Prime Minister.

    The farewell ceremony with Andranik Margarian will start March 28 at
    12:00 in the building of the National Academic Theatre of Opera and
    Ballet. The funeral will start 15:00.

    Armenian President Robert Kocharian signed a decree today on
    declaring March 28 a mourning day in connection with the death of the
    Prime Minister Andranik Margarian.

    The Ministries, the Heads of regions, the Mayor of Yerevan, the Heads
    of Armenian diplomatic missions abroad are entitled on the day of
    mourning to half-mast the state flag of Armenia.

    Armenian President Robert Kocharian accepted today the resignation of
    the Armenian government in accordance with the 55th article of the
    Constitution.

    As Mediamax was told the press service of the cabinet of ministers,
    Robert Kocharian held a special session of the government today. The
    President charged the members of the government to continue the work
    until the new cabinet of ministers is formed.

    The participants of the session honored with a minute of silence the
    memory of the Prime Minister Andranik Margarian, who suddenly passed
    away March 25.

    `We lost a statesman, a colleague, a friend, who for 7 years headed
    the government, and those 7 years were the best years of our state.
    Occupying a high state position, he remained a modest, tolerant and a
    decent person. In our memories Andranik Margarian will remain just as
    that, first of all, due to his personal qualities. Andranik Margarian
    left at a very responsible moment, and the authorities should make
    the right decisions to find a way out from this situation', Armenian
    President Robert Kocharian stated.
