YEREVAN, JUNE 26, NOYAN TAPAN. "The political force supporting me is
huge: that force has received confidence, has a great freedom to act,
and this gives me a ground to say that we will keep all the promises
he have ever given." RA Prime Minister Serge Sargsian said at the
parliament on June 26, after adoption of the government’s program.

Touching upon the peculiarities of the government’s program, the
Prime Minister said that the government has chosen priorities, part
of which are new for the society in the respect of "not problems,
but ways of solution."

In S. Sargsian’s words, no concrete terms are mentioned in the program
due to the short time of program’s introduction, but a detailed
schedule of events will be worked out in the future.

In connection with the apprehension voiced by MPs during program’s
discussion, according to which it may happen so that as a result of
the presidential elections of 2008, the government, the parliament
and the President will belong to the same party, S. Sargsian said:
"I think it will be just this way" and added that the country will
only gain from this.

Answering the question about the atmosphere at the parliament,
S. Sargsian said that it was rather normal: "If we expect that we will
come to the parliament or will communicate with other political forces
and there will be no clash of opinions, we are mistaken. There should
be clash of opinions: the most important is that representatives of
political forces were apologizing to one another: I have dreamt about
such an atmosphere."
