    ArmInfo. Equal and fair conditions will be created for all economic
    entities in Armenia, furthermore, an active fight against corruption
    and protectionism will start, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said
    during a meeting with the leading staff of the Armenian Internal
    Revenue Service, Wednesday.

    The Armenian presidential press-service told ArmInfo that Prime
    Minister Tigran Sargsyan, Vice Premier, Minister of Territorial
    Administration Armen Gevorgyan, Head of the presidential administration
    Hovik Abrahamyan, Minister of Finance Tigran Davtyan, Minister of
    Economy Nerses Yeritsyan and other officials were present at the
    meeting.

    The president said that parliamentary and presidential elections
    have recently been held in the country, and pre-electoral programs
    were presented to the public. It is time to implement these programs,
    he said. The main idea of the programs is that the potential, which
    has been accumulated over the past 7 years, allows the country to
    pass to the second stage of reforms.

    In this connection, the issue of state structures' readiness for these
    reforms arises. If the structures are ready, "then let's move forward
    together", S.Sargsyan said. Asked why the reforms should first and
    foremost cover the tax and customs services, S.Sargsyan stressed that
    it is natural as the matter concerns the rates of economic growth
    and improvement of people's welfare.

    The president stressed that the authorities have no right to ask people
    to wait for 3 or 4 years. He pointed out that one of the important
    roles in development of economy, increase in the competitiveness
    growth rates and fulfillment of the items of the state budget belongs
    to the tax and customs bodies. "The Internal Revenue Service should
    correspond to its name and destination, all of us should realize
    that the internal revenue service is to make its activity close to
    the public by providing services to state bodies and business. If we
    manage to this, our main problems will be solved", S.Sargsyan said.

    Head of the Internal Revenue Service Vahram Barseghyan and the heads
    of the Service's structural departments presented to the president the
    work on shadow economy reduction, improvement of tax administration.
