“The government’s program has been discussed in-detail at various professional domains of the My Step faction. And during this period different sides have been revealed, including what is absent in the program. The My Step faction has seen what it needs to do on this path and how to fill that gap. And we have quite a lot of works to do on this path. The proposals concern what additional action we can do”, Makunts said.

She informed that they may submit the written proposals to the government by the end of the day.

Lilit Makunts noted that the government’s draft program is quite broad and flexible. It contains common vision and approaches. “If we think that there is a need for more actions while forming the road map, we will present a proposal”, Makunts said.
