NKR PM: MINISTERS’ SUCCESSION CONSONANT TO PRESIDENT’S PERSONNEL POLICY AND SPIRIT OF HIS ELECTORAL PROGRAM
DeFacto Agency, Armenia
Sept 27 2007
"Ministers’ succession is not conditioned by the formers’ personality
and work, but is consonant to the President’s policy and the spirit of
his electoral program", Nagorno-Karabagh Republic PM Araik Harutyunian
stated while presenting new ministers to the departments’ staffs.
According to the information DE FACTO received at the NKR government’s
press office, in Araik Harutyunian’s words, "the principle of the
personnel’s selection is based on competency, moral make-up and
business qualities", so the changes in the government should be taken
with comprehension.
In the course of a meeting PM held with the staff of the Ministry of
Economic Development, the Department’s new head Benik Babayan stated
the amount of NKR GDP currently made $1000 per capita, noting the
Republic still was considered to be a poor country. At the same time
he underscored Nagorno-Karabagh had the chances to ensure accelerated
economic development. In this connection Araik Harutyunian stated,
"we do not need accelerated development, but an impetuous one".
To remind, September 25 NKR President Bako Sahakian approved new
government formed by 12 persons.
