    Oct 18 2007

    STEPANAKERT, OCTOBER 18, ARMENPRESS: Nagorno-Karabakh parliament
    approved yesterday the government's plan of actions, which was
    presented to lawmakers by new prime minister Ara Harutunian.

    The plan calls for 17 percent annual economic growth. "Some economists
    say the target is not real, but we have no right to move ahead at a
    slow pace,' the prime minister said.

    Under this plan, a per capita GDP by 2010 in Nagorno-Karabakh is
    supposed to become $4,000. The government also promises to increase
    old-age pensions twofold in the next five years.

    The plan of actions places a special focus on agriculture and energy
    sectors which are expected to boost dramatically.

    The new prime minister also promised a crackdown on informal economy
    sector saying otherwise the government would fail to meet its
    projected targets.

    Per capita GDP in Nagorno-Karabakh is now equal to $1.500, in Armenia
    it is equal to $2,700.
