Armenia government program approved, awaits parliament backing

PanARMENIAN.Net - The Program of the Armenian government was approved at an extraordinary Cabinet sitting on Tuesday, October 18.

The draft government program was introduced by Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of International Economic Integration and Reforms Vache Gabrielyan who said the challenges facing our country call for immediate reforms, achievable by involving and using the full potential of the state and Armenians all over the world.

Gabrielyan stressed the need to implement effective reforms to provide safe, dignified and better living standards, as well as an opportunity to live in an equitable society.

“To my mind, we can lift the bar we have set only by concentering our potential,” Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan said.

“Everyone shall be held accountable: the time will come to report back what we have done or have failed to achieve, and what is to be ruled out in practice,” he said.

The meeting approved the government program, which will shortly be submitted to the National Assembly.

Also, the government decided to ask for an extraordinary parliament session due on Thursday.
