YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 8, ARMENPRESS. Soon the government will submit to parliament a bill on its new structure, PM Nikol Pashinyan said at the Cabinet meeting today.

He said the bill will be ready today.

Pashinyan said soon the government will also submit the new tax code and several related legislative initiatives to parliament. The PM highlighted the importance of the tax code.

The new structure of the government is expected to re-organize the Cabinet. According to an earlier released suggestion, the number of ministries was to be reduced, with some current ones merging into one another, or being downgraded into departments under other ministries. The purpose of the amendments is to increase efficiency of public administration.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
