    ACCORDING TO GAGIK MINASIAN, WE NEED POLITICAL SOLIDARITY IN COUNTRY TO EXECUTE BUDGET

    Noyan Tapan
    April 2, 2008

    YEREVAN, APRIL 2, NOYAN TAPAN. The indices of this year's first quarter
    are lower than those envisaged by the budget, the reason of which is
    the instable situation formed in the country. Gagik Minasian, the
    Chairman of the RA National Assembly Standing Committee of Finance
    and Crediting and Budget Issues, a member of the RPA faction, said
    at the April 2 press conference. According to him, this is the first
    case during the past 6-7 years, when the budget's quarter indices
    are so much lower than the envisaged ones.

    G. Minasian considers that if the budget program fails to be executed,
    the whole society will suffer and especially its vulnerable part. In
    order to avoid it we need political solidarity and consent between
    various strata of society and political forces. The government should
    start implementing reforms of second generation, which, in particular,
    presumes guaranteeing of an equal competitive fueld for all economic
    entities and considerable reduction of shady economy. Home political
    stability should be restored to solve these problems, without which
    Armenia will lose the advantage it had over the other South Caucasian
    countries in the past years.

    G. Minasian gave assurance that the Millennium Challenge program
    will not be suspended for Armenia. According to him, to have such
    a stable partner as Armenia in the South Caucasus is beneficial for
    the United States. In its turn, Armenia is also interested in normal
    relations with the United States, which proceeds from the principles
    of country's complementarianism policy.

    According to G. Minasian, all six points of the proposal made to the
    Armenian government by Ago Group should be discussed first. According
    to him, a mutual agreement can be achieved very quickly on part of
    them, and it can take longer to come to an agreement on other points,
    which are to be subjected to an expertise.

    The deputy from RPA did not exclude the possibility of a dialogue
    with first Armenian President Levon Ter-Petrosian, "irrespective
    of the position that pole has today." According to G. Minasian,
    the coalition was created in the very result of the solidarity
    proposal made by newly elected President Serge Sargsian. And though
    coalition forces have different priorities, there is a common goal,
    for achieving which they should make compromises. G. Minasian also
    said that in difference to the previous one, this time coalition
    forces will be completely responsible for government's activity.
