A Cabinet sitting was held today, chaired by Prime Minister Tigran
Sargsyan. The Government approved two land-user support programs for
the purchase of cost-effective diesel fuel and nitrogenous fertilizers
in 2013. The Minister of Agriculture was told to select eligible
importers for the implementation of subsidy programs.
It is planned to provide land users with more than 17 million liters
of diesel fuel and 11 tons of ammonia saltpeter. Moreover, diesel
fuel will be available at AMD 350 per liter, while the fertilizers
will be provided at the cost of 6 thousand drams for a 50 kilogram-bag.
According to Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan, the main feature of
these two programs is that the level of State support has augmented
significantly, which means that either cultivated areas have increased
in size.
The government approved a small and medium business support program
and a timetable for 2013. The program seeks to provide the tools
necessary for SME development, revive the economy of remote and border
areas through harmonious management, diversify the national economy,
boost employment and self-employment in the country.
By making the next step, the Government highlights the role of SMEs
in ensuring economic development, generating new jobs, raising the
living standards, shaping a middle class, providing for social and
political stability in the country.
Redistributing the 2013 State budget and amending a previous decree,
the Government allocated funds to the Ministry of Labor and Social
Affairs that will be used to ensure better working conditions in those
11 welfare centers to be operational by the Ministry of Labor and
Social Affairs. Note that the centers will be providing one-stop-shop
services to vulnerable households.
The meeting agreed to donate a nearly 3,400 square meter-wide plot
of land at Arshakunyats Avenue N28 to Hayastan All-Armenian Fund,
establishing that the land can be used for charitable purposes, namely
to build the Komitas Museum-Institute and a cultural center. The
project has already been approved by the Yerevan Town Hall's
Architectural Board.
The meeting passed a decision to authorize the Institute for National
Strategic Studies after General Drastamat Kanayan to participate in
the founding of the CSTO Academy based on the CSTO Secretary-General's
request to the President of the Republic of Armenia regarding the
establishment of such an academy in Yerevan.
The project is co-financed by the "CSTO Institute" autonomous
non-profit organization and its Yerevan branch, as well as the
Public Diplomacy Support Fund of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of
the Russian Federation. The project has been discussed and endorsed
by the Armenia National Security Council Secretary, as well as the
foreign ministers of Russia and Kazakhstan.
Amending a previous decree, the Executive approved a project on the
launch of a cultural college in Gyumri to cover the needs of not only
talented young boys and girls from Shirak Marz, but also from the
Armenian-populated Javakheti region of Georgia, government's press
service reported.
