New Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan is going to change the
style of the government’s work. Sargsyan is going to promote public
involvement in the government’s work, the Armenian governmental press
service said.

Governmental decisions should be discussed in public, people should
have the right to take part in working out and discussing drafts,
Sargsyan said.

We should secure feedback from public on adopted drafts, he said.

It is expected that draft programs will now be posted on the websites
of the Armenian government and ministries, so that the public can
study them.

The PM also demanded that live broadcasts of governmental meetings be
secured at the governmental conference hall for accredited journalists.
