"The Armenian Government intends to build a second nuclear power plant
in Armenia, but this idea is still in the bud, since the sources of
financing, technologies and conditions are not known yet," RA Prime
Minister said in the National Assembly in response to the MP Arthur
Baghdasaryan’s question about the intention to build another nuclear
power plant.

Turning to the construction of the second Iran-Armenia gas pipeline,
the Prime Minister clarified that it cannot be considered a second
pipeline.

These are works to improve the gas pipeline for increasing its output
capacity. "The second gas pipeline does not mean a new, larger and
independent pipeline. But if there are suggestions, we are ready to
discuss those, although, I think, it is connected with a number of
problems," the Prime Minister mentioned.

In response to the question about the development of small and
medium businesses, Serge Sargsyan said the Government will foster
the development of the sphere and has a separate action plan. "The
reality is that the tax services have problems with equal approach
to both small and medium businesses. Everyone should pay taxes. This
will be the core of our tax policy," the Prime Minister underlined.
