STEPANAKERT, 02.10.08. DE FACTO. "The first year’s results testify
that there are quite organizational and material resources for the
successful implementation of the programs targeted at NKR’s rapid
social-economic development", Nagorno-Karabakh Republic PM Ara
Harutyunian said today in Stepanakert, at a press conference devoted
to the results of the first year of acting cabinet of ministers’ work.

According to the DE FACTO own correspondent in Stepanakert, the
premier noted that agriculture was the principal direction of activity.

The Premier assured that before 2015 NKR would become an energetically
independent country and would even be able to export electro energy.

Ara Harutyunian also noted that, due to a number of programs, social
tension has been scaled down. He said that in 2009 pensions would
increase 18%, teachers’ salary by 30 % and would reach 160, 000 drams
in the near future.

The government’s head noted that the world financial crisis was
already telling on the Republic banking sphere – financial streams
from outside had been reduced, credit rates were expected to raise,
banking resources would decline. At that Ara Harutyunian underscored
that in case of need the government would prevent from deep and
undesirable processes.
