YEREVAN, April 10. /ARKA/. RA President Serzh Sargsyan welcomes RA
Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan’s transparent activities.
"I think we should welcome the Prime Minister’s transparent activities,
everyone should welcome his determination and the Government’s
confidence in the future," President Sargsyan stated at a news
conference on the 1st anniversary of his presidency.
"No government in the world considers this period a good one,"
Sargsyan said.
"As to the Armenian Government, I think that the crisis is not only
the Government’s problem or an Armenian phenomenon. However, we all
must be united and stand side by side with the Government for it to
be able to temper the impacts," Sargsyan said.
The Armenian President pointed out that the Government’s anti-crisis
program is, on the one hand, in harmony with other Governments’
programs, and, on the other hand, has its specific features because
the crisis is complicated by a number of problems in Armenia.
Specifically, the Armenian population received financial assistance
from the Diaspora, and part of the population earned their living
abroad, mainly in Russia. However, most of them are now unemployed.
"I am happy that we were able to form a political coalition before
the crisis and to implement the right personnel policy. I think=2
0that the criticism against the government is natural," Sargsyan said.
According to him, every government must be ready to listen to criticism
and "instead of feeling hurt, draw necessary conclusions."
"We have chosen the way and I think that we have not an easier or
better way," Sargsyan said.
