  • PM Meets with Coalition Factions

    National Assembly of RA, Armenia
    March 12 2009


    Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Meets with Coalition
    Factions



    On March 11 RA NA Speaker Mr Hovik Abrahamyan and RA Prime Minister Mr
    Tigran Sargsyan in the National met with the coalition factions
    Prosperous Armenia, ARF and Country of Law factions. We'll note that
    the Prime Minister met with the RPA faction members on March 9 at the
    central office of the party.

    RA NA Speaker Mr Hovik Abrahamyan noted that the goal of the meeting
    was to discuss the mechanisms envisaged by the Government for
    overcoming the created situation under the conditions of financial and
    economic crisis,

    RA Prime Minister Mr Tigran Sargsyan noted that on November 12, 2008
    the Government submitted the anti-crisis programme to the parliament,
    after which the executive body approved the timetable stemming from
    the programme. It was stressed that the Government had distinct
    assessments over the created situation: the private direct investments
    have been reduced, temporary freezing has taken place in the sphere of
    mining industry, some investment programmes have been delayed, private
    transfers have been reduced. In the Prime Minister's words, as a
    result, reduction of the consumption volumes, deterioration of the
    payment balance and formation of the creditors' negative expectations
    appear.

    Presenting the priority steps of the Government for overcoming the
    financial-economic influence and their consequences in Armenia the
    Prime Minister noted that the executive body would focus its attention
    providing the regular activity of the substructures, protection of
    small and medium entrepreneurship and social expenditures. An
    operative headquarters was set up, which discusses concrete problems
    and solves them. The redistribution of the expenditures will be done
    according to quarters; in fact, in the first and second quarters they
    will work with strict saving regime, giving preference to social
    expenditures, salaries, pensions, payment of the allowances. The Prime
    Minister answered many questions concerning the MPs. The
    representatives of the coalition factions submitted their proposals to
    the Prime Minister on overcoming the crisis with joint efforts. Mr
    Tigran Sargsyan also touched upon the necessity of fluent passing to
    floating exchange rate.
