    YEREVAN, January 23. /ARKA/. The election program of the presidential
    nominee of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), RA Prime Minister
    Serge Sargsyan envisages stable economic growth trends,Chairman
    of the National Center of Applied Economics Sergey Bagratyan told
    reporters, referring to an examination of the economic component of
    Serge Sargsyan's election program.

    He pointed out that the program contains a comparison of the GDP
    growth, exports and investments in 2000-2006 with the corresponding
    indicators expected in 2006-2012.

    "Under the program, the rates of development for the indicators
    recorded during the two periods are identical," he said. Bagratyan
    added that identical coefficients are applied to almost all the
    figures indicated in the program for both 2000-2006 and 2012.

    According to him, the most important novelty revealed as a result of
    the examination is the readiness for the second stage of reforms.

    However, Sargsyan's election program does not contain any clearly
    stated proposals for any specific steps as part of the second stage
    of reforms," he said.

    According to the election program of Serge Sargsyan on his official
    website, the second stage of reforms will create better conditions
    for business and investments in Armenia. According to the document,
    economic management must not be an obstacle to business development,
    but must facilitate the creation of equal conditions for development
    and risk reduction.

    The presidential election is to be held in Armenia on February 19.

    The RA Central Electoral Commission (CEC) officially registered nine
    presidential candidates: the Chairman of the Country of Law Party,
    ex-speaker of the RA Parliament Artur Baghdasaryan, Chairman of the
    Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), RA Prime Minister Serge Sargsyan,
    Armenia's first president Levon Ter-Petrosyan, Chairman of the
    National Unity Party Artashes Geghamyan, Chairman of the National
    Democratic Union Vazgen Manukyan, Vice-Speaker of the RA Parliament
    Vahan Hovhannesyan, Chairman of the People's Party Tigran Karapetyan,
    Chairman of the National Accord Party Aram Harutyunyan, and the
    former advisor to the President of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic
