“They must be held accountable, if government program fails”
“There are some positive aspects in new Government program. Concrete measures are written, concrete terms are set, there are new ideas,” said management expert Harutyun Mesrobyan at the press conference. He says that it isn’t written which state is intended to implement that program, “The measures should be divided between spheres and responsible officials, who later must be held accountable, if this or that sphere or the entire program fails.” Touching upon the law on criminalization of illegal enrichment, Harutyun Mesrobyan noted that it will not instill confidence unless prominent figures are held accountable. As for foreign currency famine, the speaker noted that the same situation has continued for 10-15 years, imports are reducing, and the state debt is increasing year by year, “Foreign currency famine hangs over our state like a sword of Damocles,” said Harutyun Mesrobyan. As for next year’s budget and its implementation, the management expert highlights the importance of tax collection. “We have a big reserve, it is shadow turnover, which makes up 80 percent and falls to oligarchy’s share. Only through political tough will it will be possible to solve this issue,” summed up management expert Harutyun Mesrobyan.
