The draft government program was introduced by Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of International Economic Integration and Reforms Vache Gabrielyan who emphasized that the challenges facing our country call for immediate reform, involving and using the full potential of Armenia and Armenians all over the world.

Vache Gabrielyan stressed the need to implement effective reforms to provide safe, dignified and better living standards, the possibility of living in an equitable society, as well as an optimistic future for our citizens who are looked upon as a supreme value in our country.
