    ARMENIAN OFFICIAL TAKES ROSTRUM OF UN ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COUNCIL
    SESSION
    YEREVAN, JULY 1, ARMENPRESS: A senior Armenian government official
    took June 30 the rostrum of the UN Economic and Social Council
    session to introduce his government's actions, aimed to alleviate
    poverty. Manuk Vardanian, the chairman of a government-affiliated
    state committee on real property cadastre, is heading an Armenian
    delegation that has arrived in New York to attend the high-level
    session, convened to explore possibilities for creating a favorable
    environment to mobilize the resources of the emerging countries to
    reduce poverty levels. This was the first session in which the
    Armenian delegation participated after the country's election to the
    Council.
    Armenian foreign affairs ministry said Manuk Vardanian's report
    centered on poverty reduction problem, saying that being an
    international priority it demands mobilization of both domestic and
    external resources and an effective cooperation between the
    governments and international lending organizations with the active
    involvement of the civic society and private business sector. He
    added that direct investments are a key component of development. In
    this respect he singled out the Millennium Challenges Account
    projects, initiated by the US government and Armenia's inclusion in
    the list of 16 nations that may be eligible to new aid.
