YEREVAN, MAY 16, NOYAN TAPAN. The RA National Assembly unanimously,
with 87 "for" votes, approved at the May 16 special sitting the
program of activity of the government appointed in April. Taking into
consideration that the acting government will continue implementation
of the program of the government formed in June, 2003 as well as the
absence of considerable changes in the structure of the government,
Prime Minister Serge Sargsian proposed the NA to consider the program
of the government activity approved by the NA on June 20, 2003 as
the RA government program.

To recap, the Azgayin Miabanutiun (National Unity), Orinats Yerkir
(Country of Law) factions as well as the Ardarutiun (Justice)
faction, excluding NDP Chairman Shavarsh Kocharian and DPA Chairman
Aram Sargsian, were not present at the sitting. But the latters did
not participate in the vote.

On May 31, the day of opening of the first session of the NA of the
4th convocation elected as a result of the May 12 parliamentary
elections, the present government will resign and the government
to be newly-appointed will present the program of its activity
with affirmation of the parliament within the term fixed by the
Constitution.
