The first session of the National Assembly suspended on June 7
restarted on June 26. Prime Minister Serge Sargsyan presented the
Government agenda, laying a special emphasis on five priorities:
national security and stable development, efficiency of state
governance, education and science, identical development of regions,
social security of RA citizens.

Serge Sargsyan noted that the agenda is rather ambitious and will
demand utmost efforts on the part of all state bodies. "We are
considerably refreshing our approaches: every new project will be
presented to the public, will be discussed by all interested parties
and what is the most important, will be executed on the principle
of cooperation between the state and private sectors," the Prime
Minister noted.

According to the Prime Minister, analysts evaluate the Government’s
activity mainly based on quantitative indices, but "for me the most
important factor is the confidence of people in the future of our
country."

In compliance with the by-law of the National Assembly, the issue of
approval of the Government agenda will be brought to a vote within
five days after it is presented. The Government agenda is approved
by the simple majority of the votes of the total number of MPs,
i.e. at least 66.

To note, the sitting was attended by Orinats Yerkir and Heritage
opposition factions, who were missing on June 7.
