Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan said high-ranking Armenian
officials should vacation in the country in a crisis and their summer
vacations should not be long.
The government will have no full-fledged summer vacation season this
year because the Cabinet has a lot of work to do, said Sargsyan.
"I am surprised that all high-ranking officials are filing applications
for one-month vacations, as if Armenia has already overcome the
financial and economic crisis and nothing extraordinary is happening
in the country. Such an approach is unacceptable, and if officials
have to take vacation, they should vacation in Armenia and their
vacations should not be long," he said.
"The summer vacations period will be a time of intense work for
the government because the economic indicators continue declining,"
said Sargsyan.
"The year 2009 is the most difficult year for the Armenian government
and we should be on our guard," said the prime minister.
