Proportionate development of Armenia’s regions is one of the government-set priorities, said Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan.

AKHTALA (Armenia), September 22. /ARKA/. Proportionate development of Armenia’s regions is one of the government-set priorities, said Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan.

“Our purpose is to make regions outstrip Yerevan, as it is not a secret that the continued centralization of funds in Yerevan hobbles regional development,” the premier told Sunday at a press conference.

He stressed the importance of complex programs for regional development.

“Alongside with economy, we should focus on infrastructures, cultural and educational institutions,” he said. “We should see that secondary schools in regions are of the same level as those in big cities.”

Sargsyan believes the global school network will enhance education level in Armenia.

“With the help of these complex programs, the regions will become ‘livable’, people having an opportunity to get quality education and find high-paid jobs in regions,” the premier was quoted saying. Z. Sh. –0--
