YEREVAN, JANUARY 8, ARMENPRESS: This year’s first session of the
government launched with the presentation of the main activities and
most important targets for the 2009.
Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan noted that the Armenian
government’s biggest activity is expected in the sphere of
business. "The businessmen demand ensuring equal, transparent,
conditions and first of all they point out that the state does
not succeed to bring large businesses to the tax field and ensure
equal competitive conditions. From that point of view the 2009
will be a year of drastic changes," Tigran Sargsyan pointed out,
adding that these changes are intended with the program of the
government and are directed towards the improvement of tax and customs
administrations. The prime minister pointed out that the program has
been approved by the President of the country.
"Our number one target is large business which must work transparent
and under oversight. New rules of game will enter into force so that
the public trust and believe the government," T. Sargsyan said.
He reminded that the National Assembly has already confirmed the most
important legislative package presented by the government according
to which, from 2009 the large business must print the results of its
activity in press which means that it will also be controlled by the
public. Armenian prime minister expressed opinion that it will also
create favorable conditions for the activity of the government.
