YEREVAN, June 9. /ARKA/. The Armenian government apparatus has earmarked 24 cars used by officials for decommissioning, chief of government staff Davit Harutyunyan said today. He said the cars will be handed to the State Property Management Department to sell through auctions.
Speaking at a cabinet session prime minister Hovik Abrahamyan gave the ministers and heads of government agencies 10 days to complete the process of decommissioning of state-run cars.
"I ask you all to submit the number of cars which have to be decommissioned," he said.
The health ministry reported that it had already handed 26 cars to the State Property Management Department for auctioning.
As part of a major cost-cutting drive the Armenian government announced in mid-May it would decommission almost 800 cars used by its senior officials and other public sector employees.
The prime minister also pledged to streamline its expenditures, step up the fight against corruption and improve the domestic business environment in response to “new challenges” emanating from the unresolved Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. -0-
