ministers and regional governors provided explanations regarding the
low assessment of the work done in marzes (regions) in 2009.
Tavush marz had received the highest total score. The prime minister

noteworthy. He underlined that by subjecting the indices to analysis,
the regional governors should identify their weaknesses and take the
necessary steps to eliminate these shortcomings in 2010.

is in need of improvement. In his words, at the present moment there
are no official differences among governors and ministries.

to evaluate the work in a complex way". At the same time the prime
