Karen Karapetyan: no essential changes in the Government are expected  if Republicans win the elections

ArmInfo. Armenian Government  took a good start, and if there will be no obstacles, everything will  keep on going like that. This was stated by Karen  Karapetyan, the  prime Minister of Armenia, during  his meeting with voters. 

According to him, if during the elections the ruling Republican Party  reaches a success, there will be no essential changes in the  Government of Armenia.

There  will be no essential changes after April 2 , and our team is aimed   to serve to the country and to the permanent progress," the Prime  Minister stated. Karapetyan presented also the Lori Region  Development Program, stating that in 2017 it is planned to implement  45 projects with total cost at USD 151 mln, in the result of which  2500 new jobs will be created. " We plan to implement in Lori a  number of projects in the sectors of hi-tech, infrastructures,  tourism and agriculture," Karapetyan clarified.
