YEREVAN, April 17. /ARKA/. Ensuring transparency of government
work will be one of the main focuses in government activities, the
Prime-Minister of Armenia Tigran Sargsian said at the government
sitting Thursday.
Involvement of the public will be the main principle in organizing
government works to ensure, first, quality of government decisions and,
second, legitimacy of government activity so that public discussions
are held on the decisions to be made, Sargsian said.
He also said that from now on citizens will have an opportunity to get
familiar with the draft decisions on ministries' sites. He stressed
the necessity of feedback on the decisions adopted by the government.
Sargsian reported that government sittings will be broadcast and 250
mass media outlets accredited in the government will have a chance
to follow the course of the sitting online.
The head of the government called the cabinet staff to master modern
work methods and stressed the importance of knowledge and learning. "We
should learn together - not learning is much worse than not knowing.
Reforms are impossible without learning and gaining new knowledge,"
the Prime-Minister said.
The Prime-Minister stressed that two important documents to provide
guidelines for the cabinet are the government activity program by
2012 and the election campaign program of Serge Sargsian. -0--
