The problem of poverty reduction is among first priorities on Armenian government’s agenda, according to Armenian Economy Minister.

As Tigran Davtyan stated at parliamentary hearing, in near future, the government will introduce a program on stable economic development, also including stipulations on poverty reduction.

“AMD 44 billion will be allocated from 2011 budget to resolve social issues. However, resolution of social issues depends on the economic growth, which is the reason the issue is in the focus of the government’s attention,” the Minister stated.
