Bank Hakob Andreasyan said: "A year with and without Stepan Gishyan".
"It has been a year since Stepan left us. We often
remember him, talk about him, ask a council and laugh for he had a good sense
of humour. We often discuss his points of view for what he has managed to do is
a great reservoir for all of us. Stepan Gishyan introduced new standards,
approaches and a new culture to the banking system. This might be the reason
why ACBA Bank holds a special place in the banking system and why it is
different from other banks. First of all, this is the result of Stepan's
new approaches", said Hakob Andreasyan.
