    Armenian premier, Nagornyy Karabakh officials discussing economic problems


    [Presenter] Armenian Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan has spent several
    hours of his working day in Nagornyy Karabakh. Sargsyan went to
    Stepanakert together with members of the Armenian cabinet and the
    chairman of the Central Bank.

    Members of the Armenian government delegation and the newly-elected
    Nagornyy Karabakh president, as well as members of the Nagornyy
    Karabakh cabinet discussed mainly economic issues. The government of
    the Nagornyy Karabakh will soon submit its action programme to the
    parliament for approval.

    Sargsyan specified how the Armenian government can help Artsakh
    [Karabakh] to eliminate obstacles standing in the way of economic
    development.

    [Correspondent reporting from Stepanakert] The Armenian government
    delegation led by Prime Minister Sargsyan arrived in Stepanakert
    today. The Armenian delegation was met at a high level in Nagornyy
    Karabakh. The president of the Nagornyy Karabakh republic [NKR], Bako
    Sahakyan, the speaker of the parliament, Ashot Ghulyan, and the prime
    minister, Ara Harutyunyan, met the guests at the airport. After that,
    the officials headed for the NKR president's residency.

    At first, Sargsyan and Sahakyan held a one-to-one meeting which
    lasted about two hours. After that, an expanded meeting was held with
    the NKR prime minister and finance ministers of the two republics in
    attendance. Today there is a serious problem in stimulating the
    development of the NKR economy and discussions are aimed at
    elaborating how the Armenian government can help the NKR government
    eliminate obstacles to development.

    [Sargsyan] We see that Karabakh has potential for developing its
    economy and we also see ways of developing this potential.

    [Correspondent] The Armenian and NKR ministers of energy,
    agriculture, trade and economic development also discussed the
    economic development of Karabakh. During the discussions with the
    chairman of the Central Bank of Armenia, the future steps of the
    credit policy were defined.

    [Sahakyan] Armenia has always expressed its readiness to help
    Karabakh develop its economy and ensure state building in the
    country.

    [Passage omitted: details]

    [Sargsyan] We have already solved all problems related to the 2007
    and 2008 budget. But I am saying again that all wealth should be
    created here. We can only play the role of a supporter.

    [Correspondent] The Armenian prime minister and the NKR president
    decided to hold such meetings twice a year and discuss the results of
    the agreements that were reached.
