RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan's Message on Building-Trade Worker Day
Dear Builders,
I warmly congratulate you on your professional holiday - Building-trade worker day. This is a good opportunity to speak about your achievements and problems, as well as to refer to future plans and programs.
I would like to underscore that as one of most dynamically developing sectors, construction is a core branch of the national economy. The Government highlights the design and implementation of urban development programs targeting the sustained development of populated areas countrywide, with "green engineering" being at the heart of the home urban development efforts.
Owing to your contribution, new original and durable buildings are being erected in the capital, while you may realize the importance of ensuring favorable living and working conditions for our citizens outside the capital either in terms of addressing the regional development disproportions and achieving sustainable development for all settlements throughout the country.
We will have to carry out important programs in the earthquake zone where we intend to solve the housing problem of homeless families based on the public-private sector partnership principle. The Government will keep enhancing the quality of design and construction work in the disaster zone, the capital city and other settlements of the Republic through modernized engineering technologies and closer adherence to international standards.
Dear Builders, I am confident that together with you we will succeed in addressing all of the foregoing issues so as to offer to our citizens and the emerging generations beautiful, convenient and up-to-date habitations as part of the national architectural patrimony.
You have the mission of creating ever-lasting values, and I wish you every success and inexhaustible energy.
