YEREVAN. – Even though 2018 has not started yet, Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan has given 14-point instructions to the provincial governors for the coming year, according to Zhamanak (Time) newspaper of Armenia.
“He has ordered to develop and submit to the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Development, by the end of the year, the annual action plan for each province, in which the 14 directions, or indicators, proposed by him at least must be included.
“Perhaps with that initiative, K. Karapetyan is going against his own party by changing the priorities with the provincial governors.
“At any rate, it is apparent that the fight within the RPA [the ruling Republican Party of Armenia] to remain at the helm of power in 2018 goes on also at the level of instructions,” wrote Zhamanak.
