    PARLIAMENT APPROVES GOVERNMENT PROGRAM OF ACTIONS FOR NEXT FIVE YEARS

    ARMENPRESS
    April 30, 2008

    YEREVAN, APRIL 30, ARMENPRESS: By a vote of 88 to 3 the National
    Assembly approved today the government program of actions for
    2008-2012. The program was voted against by the oppositional
    Zharangutyun (Heritage) party.

    Parliament chairman Tigran Torosian said the National Assembly stands
    ready to support implementation of this 'very important program.'
    Before voting took place prime minister Tigran Sarkisian said his
    government will implement changes and will begin with government
    members.

    'We shall expose our defects and we shall be keeping you informed on
    how we are going to carry out this program,' he said.

    He thanked the parliament for interesting debates over the program and
    their suggestions and remarks many of which that were incorporated
    into it. He also thanked the opposition Heritage party for their
    'moral support to the new government,' saying it is more obligative
    than frequent criticism.

    The Heritage party had said earlier it would not vote for the
    program because it wants a program of actions that would enforce
    system changes, but said it would help the government correct its
    shortcomings.

    The prime minister also thanked members of the political coalition
    for supporting the program.

    'I am confident that soon our people will see that the government
    has come to implement sweeping reforms,' he concluded.
