The government of Armenia will convene this year three sessions
outside Yerevan. Vice Prime Minister Armen Gevorkian, who is also
territorial minister, said today the first is scheduled for June 12
in Gyumri, the capital of northwestern province of Shirak, the second
will take place in Vayots Dzor in September and the third in December
in Aragatsotn province.
According to Armen Gevorkian, these sessions will be convened outside
Yerevan so that government members have an opportunity to learn about
each province’s problems on the ground, to adopt strategic programs
and concepts for their resolution.
He said the idea is to give also a boost to mitigating disproportional
economic development of Armenian regions. He said a government session
will be held every quarter in the provinces in 2009-2012.
