NO SHARP PRICE RISE TO FOLLOW ARMENIA'S ACCESSION TO CUSTOMS UNION - PRESIDENT
19:26 * 14.02.14
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan has visited Armenia's Ministry of
Urban Development.
At a meeting with the ministry staff, Armenia's leader said that
Armenia's accession to the Customs Union may cause an increase in
prices for some products and a decrease in prices for others.
However, he ruled out a sharp price rise.
Armenia's Minister of Urban Development Samvel Tadevosyan informed the
president of the results of the ministry's activities in 2012-2013,
current problems and plans.
Minister Tadevosyan singled out the social housing program, which
is supposed to resolve the housing problem of socially vulnerable
sections of Armenia's population.
President Serzh Sargsyan answered the ministry staff's questions about
socio-economic problems in the country, domestic and foreign policy.
Armenia's leader stressed that the country's accession to the
Customs Union meets its national interests. Serzh Sargsyan considers
unacceptable the unreliable reports on an expected sharp rise in
prices. The relevant bodies must adequately respond to any such
reports and inform the public of the real situation, he said.
"We must remember a very high level of freedom of the press in
Armenia. The Reporters Without Borders organization recently released
the world press freedom index 2014, which shows Armenia to be the
regional leader. According to the report, we even have a higher freedom
of the press level than some of the European Union member-states,
such as Greece and Bulgaria, to say nothing of Georgia, Ukraine
and other states, which had been considered islands of democracy,"
Armenia's president said.
Serzh Sargsyan pointed out the need for more efficient implementation
of decisions in the population's interests, public support and
feedback.
