    YEREVAN, MAY 16, ARMENPRESS: Armenian President Tigran Sargsian
    received today the delegation headed by the U.S. coordinator of
    European and Eurasian assistance Tom Adams.

    Governmental press service told Armenpress that during the meeting the
    prime minister said that Armenia underscores the further development of
    relations with USA and particularly the activity of the U.S.-Armenian
    inter-governmental task group dealing with the economic issues,
    which he said, is ensuring progress for Armenia.

    Tigran Sargsian thanked the U.S. government for the large volume of
    assistance provided to Armenia since its independence and added that
    in a number of spheres the results are obvious.

    "At the same time we fully realize that there are spheres where the
    reforms are not notable and U.S. assistance will greatly promote to
    overcome the issues in those spheres as well," the prime minister said.

    Congratulating Tigran Sargsian on being appointed in the office of
    the prime minister, Tom Adams said that he is very glad as he had an
    opportunity to cooperate with him when he was the chairman of the
    Armenia's Central Bank. T. Adams expressed assurance that Tigran
    Sargsian will succeed in his new position.

    During the meeting the prime minister also presented Armenia's
    macroeconomic situation, as well as the pace of reforms in tax and
    customs systems.

    Considering it one of the main issues of the newly formed government,
    Sargsian said that the achieved results will directly promote the
    solution of social and economic issues of the country.

    He said that soon program of events and aims of the reforms in tax
    and customs spheres will be published through which the public will
    be able to control the steps of the government.

    Among the prior issues he also noted the creation of favorable
    conditions for the development of small and medium sized business,
    effective fight against corruption. He said that the government is
    cooperating with the international establishments in that direction.

    Tom Adams noted that during the recent times the positive changes
    are quite notable in the improving tax administration and pointed
    out that there are still some issues connected with the development
    of democracy, rule of law, promotion of business. He promised that
    U.S. administration will continue cooperating with the Armenian
    government in the mentioned spheres for making the country attractive
    for foreign investments.

    "People are tired of words and promises. We need to work and have
    announced that the new Armenian government has come to make drastic
    changes," Tigran Sargsian said.
