And This is Supposed to Make Us Feel Better? Not Only Economic Minister Who Has Shortcomings, Says Armenia’s PM

There are shortcomings and omissions in all the ministries; it’s not just the Ministry of Economy, said Prime Minister of Armenia Tigran Sargsyan at a press conference today, commenting on recent statements by Prosperous Armenia Party leader Gagik Tsarukyan addressed to Economic Minister Nerses Yeritsyan.

According to Sargsyan, it’s enough to become familiar with the studies of Armenia’s Control Service to see that shortcomings and omissions can be found in all ministries.

“Today we must not exchange accusations. Instead, our power must be our unity: if there are shortcomings or omissions in this or that ministry, our coalition partners should help [us] to set them right. We must not violate the rules of ethics,” he said.

Sargsyan also said he did not want to single out coalition parties and say that a minister from this party has done a good job while a minister from another party has not.
