“The issues are clearly defined in the new government program,” Economist Ashot Khurshudyan noted during the discussion on the topic of “Government program and the RA economic challenges: declarative provisions or concrete steps?” held in the Media Center.

“Government’s actions surprised and pleased me. People have attached great hope to the new government. This means the society actively reacted to the implemented reforms,” Khurshudyan mentioned.
