ARKA
July 18

The concept of the program for the development of Armenian provinces
will soon be submitted for the government’s consideration, Vice-Premier
and Minister of Territorial Administration Armen Gevorgyan said at
his meeting with Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of
Great Britain Charles Lonsdale.

The minister expressed his gratitude to the British Ambassador
for supporting the programs for regional development in Armenia,
especially DFID programs implemented in Armenian regions of Gegharkunik
and Tavush.

The two stressed that this practice should be applied in other regions
as well. Gevorgyan said the government of Armenia deems cooperation
with public organizations highly important in this issue. The
government pays much attention to environmental issues. Each investor
is required to use safe technologies only, the minister reported.
