On average, we more than delivered as promised. This is a comprehensive indicator that has a specific impact on all areas," the Prime Minister said on February 23 at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers, during which a report on the progress and results of the program of the Government of the Republic of Armenia (2021-2026) for 2023 was approved," the premier said.
