    YEREVAN

    The programs directed toward the solution of social-economic issues
    of the Armenian province of Syunik are under the spotlight of its
    governor Surik Khachatryan. These programs are directed toward the
    improvement of livelihood of the people. Armenpress news agency spoke
    with the governor of the province Surik Khachatryan about the prior
    issues of the province and steps to solve them.

    - Your activity in 2010 was assessed by the executive power 96,08
    points - the highest in the republic. Which is the guarantee of this
    high assessment?

    - I consider this assessment the result of the activity of Syunik
    governor's office, local self-governmental establishments. I think this
    is not only my assessment but the assessment of our joint activity. It
    is being perceived by us as a big responsibility and obliges to work
    better, to increase the efficiency of the activity of the governor's
    office for the sake of development of the province and welfare of
    its residents.

    - Which program of improvement of the social-economic situation of
    the province do you rate high?

    - The program of social-economic development of the province for
    2010-2013 approved in June 2009 points out a number of important
    issues. The most important of them are the issues presented by
    the communities. I particularly highlight the already launched
    program of reconstruction of Tatev monastic complex, construction
    of Halidzor-Tatev cable way, construction of new mine plant in the
    territory of Geghi, construction of Iran-Armenia railway, North-South
    highway, Meghri hydro power plant. The implementation of the mentioned
    programs will promote the increase of the level of livelihood of
    the people of the province, creation of new jobs and decrease of the
    unemployment rate.

    - Which are the prior issues of the province? What steps are being
    undertaken in that direction?

    - The province has a lot of various issues. Part of them has
    been solved. The prior issues that need to be solved are the road
    construction issues which exist in all the regions of the province. We
    also have issue of connecting a number of communities to gas network,
    we need to reconstruct Meghri's town hospital, and many such issues.

    These issues are gradually being solved. For instance, with the
    decision of the Armenian government new building will be built for
    the Meghri medical center by 2012.

    - Last year, mainly connected with the unfavorable climate conditions,
    the province registered low agricultural indices. What steps are
    currently being carried out to assist the farmer?

    - In spite of unfavorable weather condition, thanks to the targeted
    usage of professional potential and work we managed to increase the
    volume of agricultural products. As compared with the past years
    the number of farmer economies increased by 110, the number of
    organizations dealing with reprocessing of the agricultural products
    by 58.

    - There are issues in the health sphere of the province. Particularly
    the province lacks doctors-specialists, medical devices. Are you going
    to carry out programs for the solution of the issues of the sphere?

    - The issues of the health system of the province are gradually being
    solved. Today more favorable conditions have been created for providing
    medical services to the population. If few years ago we were solving
    issue of preservation of the system, today we are solving issue of
    upgrading it.

    During 2004-2010 the medical establishments of the province were
    filled with medical devices amounting to 907 million AMD. In 2010
    the cardiologic center started operating in the town of Goris.

    As to filling the establishments with doctors, the Health Ministry
    has signed contracts with 4 doctors according to which they passed
    to work in the medical centers in provinces. Currently 12 doctors of
    the province are having classes in the National Health Institute of
    the Health Ministry.
