Newly-appointed Minister of Labor and Social Affairs intends to continue implementation of the programs launched.

“The ministry will face staff changes only in case of employees’ non-fulfillment of the obligations,” Artem Asatryan said.

Dwelling on the post of the deputy minister, he said the issue will be discussed, with the Prime Minister to take a relevant decision afterwards.

“I haven’t decided on the post yet,” he said.

Minister Asatryan further pointed out consistent implementation of the pension reforms launched and introduction of the system of social services and other programs among the Ministry’s priorities.
