Mushegh Tumasyan, head of the EDRC Gagik Torosyan, director of GTZ
programs James Macbeth and German Ambassador to Armenia Hans-Jochen
Schmidt handed over certificates to 16 economists.
Torosyan noted that 250 students from economic higher education
institutions of the country took the test for participation in the
program, out of which 25 people were selected for retraining. However,
only 16 people have successfully passed the course, they will do an
internship in the Armenian Ministry of Economy.
The program is aimed at revelation and retraining of diligent young
specialists, who will later have the opportunity to participate in
various state and private programs.
"GTZ is interested in cooperation with the RA Ministry of Economy

assisting small and medium businesses and reducing oligarchs' share
