 RPA rep. says authorities heed opposition’s criticism May 22, 2013 - 16:43 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The executive power must boost its effectiveness, former member of parliament said. Vardan Bostanjyan told a press conference that the government program centers on the problems Armenia currently faces. The ex-MP noted the lack of appropriate mechanisms as the program’s shortcoming, stressing the need to solve the problems of emigration and job creation. The ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) parliamentary group member Mkrtich Minasyan, in turn, described the government program as comprehensive. “Not all of the tools and mechanisms must be included in the program,” the MP said, adding that the authorities heed the opposition’s criticism. It’s noteworthy that on May 20, the government presented its program during the parliament’s four-day session.
