specially emphasized. A.Haroutyunyan charged the competent bodies with
a task to examine the issue and to put forward proposals concerning
using timber in the sphere of construction on terms of government
contractual work.
Intensification of the technical control was put forward as an urgent
demand to the sphere of water industry. Because of the deficiency of
local specialists a task was set to reserve the expertise decisions
on the new and operating water systems to specialists from Armenia. In
the near future the conceptual document on the irrigation system will
be submitted to the discussion of the Government.
