Armenian government pins great hopes on new Minister of Agriculture

Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan said that agriculture will be in the focus of the government’s attention in 2011.

“Our economic indices would have been much better, if it were not for 14.5% decline in agriculture. It means that we have great expectations from Sergo Karapetyan, taking into consideration his experience in the field. I think we will be able to secure sufficient agricultural growth in 2011,” Sargsyan said.
