09:22 28.08.13
The paper says it has learned from sources that President Serzh
Sargsyan has asked the prime minister to introduce justifications of
a grant request worth over ~@1 billion worth at an upcoming European
donor meeting.
The Armenian authorities reportedly want the money for the
implementation of such projects as the North-South highway construction
and the new water system launch, environmental protection and the
construction of new dams, as well as the manufacturing assistance
program aimed at boosting exports.
Citing its sources, the paper says that the government is going to
request a sum of around ~@532 million for activities in the irrigation
system. The authorities expect to get the grant in the form of money
and finish the work in 2025, adds the paper.
"Europe will in all likelihood approve the grant, with the signing of
the European Association Agreement looming ahead. The existing opinion
is that Europe doesn't consider this a 'bribe'; it is really confident
that the money will help Armenia to really launch reforms in line with
the essential standards of the European civilization," says the paper.
