Vardan Khachatryan, the Minister of Finance and Economy told
reporters on June 11 the new government will submit the programme
to the National Assembly within 20 days. In answer to the question
whether the government may submit the program earlier than 20 days,
Vardan Khachatryan said "it is not excluded".

The government was appointed on June 9 by a decree of the
president. According to the Constitution, the government must
submit the program with the National Assembly within 20 days after
appointment. The reporters also asked Vardan Khachatryan to dwell on
the stance of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun on the government. In answer to
A1+’s question on possible collaboration with the ARF Dashnaktsutyun
which has assumed responsibility for only its own portfolios, Vardan
Khachatryan said: "I cannot generalize but our partners, with whom we
collaborated, worked well over the past four or five years. I should
note that they are professionals."

The government members can collaborate efficiently, Vardan Khachatryan
said.
