ArmInfo.Armenian Finance Minister Atom Janjugazyan considers inappropriate accusations against the authorities due to the fact that there are no definite figures in the program for the future 5 years.
"To give a similar assessment to the program due to the lack of any figures, based on your taste and preferences, this, at a minimum, needs additional substantiation," the minister said on January 7 in an interview with journalists.
As Janzhugazyan pointed out, the absence of some digital indicators in the program of the Cabinet of Ministers is not an indication that the executive branch thus wants to avoid responsibility in the future. According to him, it is impossible not to notice the work that the government is doing even outside the program.
"Thus, I consider it not very justifiable to talk about the absence of responsibility or its low degree," he pointed out.Recall that on the eve of the government of Armenia could not approve the program of activities for the upcoming five-year plan. The approval was postponed due to a number of technical problems and time was given until the morning of Friday, February 8, to finalize the document.
Presenting the draft document, Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan stressed that over the next five years, the government's activities will focus on the development of high technologies, industry, and the formation of an economy based on high environmental standards aimed at exporting competitive and innovative products. The program of the government, as indicated by Deputy Prime Minister Tigran Avinyan, is based on the election program of the "My Step" bloc. However, expert circles indicated the absence of specific targets, as well as the timing of their achievement in the document.
