AZG Armenian Daily #141, 28/07/2006

Meeting

RA PM Andranik Margarian met with James Mc.Kew, Permanent
Representative of the International Monetary Fund in Armenia. The press
service of RA Government informed that RA PM gave positive evaluation
to Armenia’s cooperation with IMF in the course of Mc. Kew’s mission
in Armenia. Margarian said that IMF and Armenia managed to settle a
number of issues in these years thanks to their cooperation.

In his turn, Mc.Kew, pointed out a number of positive changes in the
social-economic sphere. He stated that such problems as the government
debts for salaries and pensions, as well as high level unemployment
existing in 2002, were settled. Mc.Kew also represented the further
programs of IMF, particularly, the monitoring of RA Government’s
implementation of its commitments, the monitoring of the financial
sector, the statistics, as well as rendering technical assistance.
Mc.Kew stated that the next agreement between Armenia and IMF will be
easily signed, as, according to preliminary evaluation, the structural
reforms in Armenia will soon be completed, while the economic growth
surpassed the planned level.

In his turn, Margarian underscored that the IMF programs coincide
with the country’s priorities for development.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
