New Government program to be realistic: PM
16:46 08.05.2014
The newly formed government held the first Cabinet meeting, chaired by
Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan, government's press office reported.
Opening the meeting, the Prime Minister addressed the audience, `The
government is fully formed, for which I congratulate all of us. We are
working on the new government program, which is to be submitted to the
National Assembly within twenty days. The program must be as realistic
as much as possible, and the proposed changes should not be an end in
itself. I am aware of the outcome of the ongoing discussions, which
are regularly reported back by Mr. Gevorgyan. I believe that the new
program will be truly realistic and each government member shall be
responsible for its implementation. Our ways will be separated with
any such member of government who may fail to fulfill the program, no
matter how long we have worked together.'
Then the Cabinet proceeded to the agenda. Based on Article 70 of the
Constitution of the Republic of Armenia, the Government proposed to
the National Assembly to hold an extraordinary session this May 12 at
12:00 pm in order to discuss some three dozen issues. Under the first
agenda item, the meeting will continue to discuss the bill on
amendments to the funded pension law.
The Government approved the 2014 estimate for extra-budgetary spending
under the financial support program developed in accordance with the
subcontracts signed between Armenia's State Migration Service and the
Armenia Office of UN High Commissioner for Refugees.
Over 41 million drams will be transferred to that account to cover
remuneration costs, reconstruction of buildings and premises,
professional services, etc. The legal act is expected to improve the
welfare status of asylum seekers and refugees in our country. The
meeting approved the proposal to sign a cooperation agreement in the
field of navigation and geo-location of CIS-member States' armed
forces. The Government-approved five bills were harmonized with the
relevant legislation of the Customs Union.
The following draft laws were next approved at the meeting: `On
Phytosanitary,' `On Veterinary Medicine,' `On Food Safety,' `Animal
Food,' and `On State Food Safety Control.' The draft laws will be
submitted to the National Assembly in the manner established by law.
The cabinet passed a decision on funding the preparation and
implementation costs of June 8, 2014 local elections for 56 community
heads and aldermen council members. The meeting decided to grant a
deferment on mandatory military service until the 2015 summer draft to
laureate of international competitions, cellist Narek Hakhnazaryan.
Kovalenko Shahgaldyan was relieved of the office of Kotayk Marz
Governor in accordance with his resignation request. With the next
decisions passed at the meeting, the Executive appointed Aram
Haroutunyan to be Kotayk Marz Governor and Rubik Abrahamyan to serve
as Ararat Marz Governor.
Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan congratulated the newly appointed
governors and wished them fruitful work
