    RA Prime Minister A. Margaryan's Greetings Message on
    the Occasion of the New Year and Christmas

    YEREVAN, JANUARY 1, ARMENPRESS: Dear Compatriots
    in Homeland, Diaspora, Artsakh and Javakhk,
    Please accept my congratulations and best wishes
    for a Happy New Year and a Merry Christmas. Soon the
    clock will strike the last few seconds of the passing
    year and the start of the new one. Let it be a year of
    success and new achievements. Of course, independence
    is the biggest acquisition for all of us, the 15th
    anniversary of which we celebrated this year. I am
    confident that during future such celebrations we will
    be able to speak of ever greater achievements the
    foundations of which are being formed and consolidated
    today. The economic year was endowed with positive
    indicators. The Government succeeded in meeting fully
    and in due time, all the commitments assumed under the
    State budget law, with at least 13% growth recorded by
    the close of this fiscal year.
    Social expenditures have gone up in parallel to
    State budget's growing capacity, and the year 2006
    made no exception to the rule. A considerable increase
    in budget allocations to the wage, pension, benefit
    funds and to the spheres of education and health care
    is envisaged for 2007, and this process will be
    continued in the years ahead. Of course, there are
    still many problems and unsettled issues, among which
    the question of equal distribution of the GDP with the
    view of lessening the gap between extreme poverty and
    prosperity, the depth and consistency in the fight
    against corruption, the winding up of the pace of
    reform processes in a number of key areas with
    enhanced efficiency in the implementation thereof.
    Similarly important is that political life has been
    free from any shakings this year. Parliamentary
    elections are ahead of us and I am hopeful that all
    the participants - public authorities, political
    forces, civil society - will do everything to hold
    them up to the mark.
    It is a common rule to see the New Year in the
    narrow circle of close relatives and friends by taking
    a share in the joy of the holiday and exchanging best
    wishes with festive spirits. I join these festive
    wishes and, first of all, wish you peace for which our
    people has paid a very high price, as well as
    solidarity in the defiance of all internal and
    external challenges, robust health, infinite love and
    warmth in your homes coupled with a firm belief in the
    future of our State.
    A Happy New Year and a Merry Christmas!
