The next sitting of the Armenian Government will take place on Friday,
May 29, said RA Premier Tigran Sargsyan.

"The sitting of the Government will take place on Friday, as Thursday,
the 28th of May is a nonworking day," he said on Thursday.

Armenia celebrates Day of Independence of the First Republic on May
28. On this day of 1918 the Armenian National Council announced the
independence of Armenia, and on the next day West and East Bureau
of ARF Dashnaktsyutyun appointed architect Hovhannes Kajaznuni first
Prime Minister of independent Armenia and chose Yerevan as the capital
city of the new state.

The independent Armenian state lasted until December 2 1920.

Premier Sargsyan also noted that the nest sitting will start with
discussion of implementation of the assignments.

"There are many assignments and time schedules for activities which
fail to meet the deadline or are not being implemented fully and are
reason for rather low quality of implementation," he said.

Sargsyan suggested ministers and heads of agencies to devote the next
week to reports and ascertainment of the processes of implementation
of the assignments.

"On our next sitting we will try to find out what is the problem
and why we do not manage to finish our programs in time," he
said.
