President Serzh Sargsyan today invited the leaders of political parties
to consultations on the "Global financial-economic crisis and Armenia."
The President said in his opening speech that holding such consultation
was the imperative of time. "Irrespective of our will, we are entering
a phase of global and regional changes, where everyone's approaches
should be visible to each other and if possible, grow into a common
opinion and approach," the President said.
"The financial-economic crisis has made the developed countries make
changes, which would be simply unacceptable before. Unfortunately,
no one has found the right recipe so far. It's clear that in such
a situation the Government of the Republic of Armenia had to find
non-standard solutions. The reality is that if we do not resist this
crisis jointly, we all will suffer. It's at least unwise to let the
Government face this challenge alone."
Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan noted in his speech that "there is
no country in the world that has not been affected by the global
crisis. Every country has its own methods of fighting the crisis." The
Prime Minister presented the three directions of the anti-crisis
program the Government presented to the Nationa l Assembly on 14
November. The first direction is the realization of infrastructure
projects, the second is the assistance to those enterprises which
suffer temporary difficulties. The third direction is the support
for small and medium-sized businesses.
After the Prime Minister's speech the consultations continued behind
closed doors and lasted for about five hours.
