YEREVAN, DECEMBER 24, NOYAN TAPAN. At the December 24 sitting,
the Armenian government delayed adoption of a decision on annual
awards for high-quality goods and services. On the instructions of
Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan, henceforth Minister of Economy Nerses
Yeritsian will inform the public about who participates in the vote
and based on what criteria the selection is made. Besides, according
to the prime minister, it is necessary to examine the methodology
and create conditions, under which proposals of NGOs will be taken
into account so as to rule out any "unnecessary talks" and enable
the public to trust the organizations selected.
"When the list of selected companies was announced last year, I
attracted all criticism for the selection of this or that company. Now
we should know who selects and we should feel confident that the choice
is objective. The public should be informed about the commission
members. The public should know that we neither interfere nor put
pressure on the commission in the process of decision making,"
T. Sargsyan said.
