Armenia’s Pashinyan: Old world is crumbling right before our eyes

YEREVAN. – Usually when evaluating projects, the government is much more easily given in to the emotional pressure by political bodies, and as a result, we may be tempted to use the money inefficiently. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this at today’s session of the government of Armenia.

“We need a specialized, non-emotional project evaluation body that is ready to take some risk and make a certain assessment,” he added. “There is an economic anti-crisis action group formed, which is the government’s economic bloc; there are MPs included, and they will keep their finger on the pulse of the economy.”

The Prime Minister noted that the basis of all actions should not be to render humanitarian aid to the economy, but to increase the competitiveness of the economy.

“Now is the most convenient moment to launch development strategies for the Republic of Armenia, as the world is transforming, the old world is crumbling, and we must present with a new force, a new image in the new world,” he said.
