YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 22. ARMINFO. The two-digit figures of economic
growth fixed in Armenia for already four years are a result of the
effective policy of the authorities and diligence of the people,
said Armenian President Robert Kocharyan at a solemn ceremony on the
occasion of the Independence Day of RA, on September 21.

The president said: “Armenia celebrates its 14th independence
anniversary as a steadily developing country. All-embracing reforms
and projects are implemented in the country. The high economic rates
have become possible due to the domestic political stability, which
is a priority of a country’s progress. It is important that funds are
directed to the social sphere. The economic growth must have a direct
effect on prosperity of the country’s citizens. We are determined to
fulfill the poverty reduction program. Work and social security must
be our slogan for the coming years,” Robert Kocharyan said.

Strengthening of legality, more effective administration and public
agreement are guarantees of solution to the tasks of our country,
the president thinks.
