Today, a regular session of the NKR Government, which was conducted
by the Prime Minister Ara Haroutynyan has taken place.

A number of agenda issues were dedicated to new law projects. The
Executive has gave approval to the NKR law projects "On Firm Names" and
"On General Education", proposed changes and additions to the NKR laws
"On Social Maintenance Cards", "On State Pensions", "On Licensing",
"On State Duty", and "On NKR Administrative Territorial Division". The
legislative beginnings will be submitted to the discussion of the
NKR NA.

The other group of the discussed issues concerned the economic sphere.

The Government affirmed the regulations concerning mineral waters,
by which technical demands for its safety; production, processing,
and packing were defined. The Ministry of Healthcare was charged
with a task to submit to the affirmation of the Government the list
of mineral waters and sources of raw materials and springs.

The started economic process directly concerns the future destiny
of the mentioned enterprise. The Executive resolved to liquidate
the electro technical plant of Stepanakert retaining its accounts
receivable and rights for other demands to the NKR Ministry of
Finance. Similar decision was made in concern with "Metax" CJSC
as well. While introducing the issue, the Minister of Economic
Development B. Babayan noted that the mentioned enterprises execute
nearly no economic activity; therefore it is expedient to liquidate
them. The Prime Minister A.Haroutyunyan charged the Minister with a
task to make appropriate steps for purposeful usage of the property
and the territory of these enterprises and to provide investments
for new economic activities.

At the session, the Minister of Economic Development B. Babayan came
out with account on the existent state in the sphere of stock-taking
and management of the state property. He noted that a corresponding
division had been already founded in the ministry, a centralized
system and data collection base is functioning, and corresponding
legal acts were adopted.

At present 641 buildings and constructions are included in general
stock-taking, though there are a lot of buildings out of registration,
the minister emphasized. B. Babayan came forward with proposals, which
were assigned to competent structures as governmental instructions. The
Prime Minister charged the Minister with a task to submit an account
on executed activities quarterly.

The Executive has introduced amendments and additions into the
Government decree N2 "On State Pensions" dated January 3, 2004,
for securing implementation of the law. In particular, wemen having
at least 35 years of insurance length of service are allowed to be
granted pension one year sooner.

The Executive affirmed the order of the students’ passing from one
higher educational institution to another. According to the new order
the passing is conducted by approbation of the two rectors. The
students studying at the target places are prohibited to change
specialty.

By proposal of K.Petrosyan, the Head of Industrial Infrastructures
adjunct to the NKR Government, the Executive introduced an amendment
into the government decree N449, dated June 20, 2008, according to
which the tender on technical inspection licensing will take place
even in case of only one application submission.

By the last agenda issue the Executive introduced a change in
the temporary scheme of land use of the Hadrout region’s rural
