On February 28, the report on the progress and results for 2022 of the Government's plan for 2021-2026 was presented to the National Assembly.
During today's press conference, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that before the parliamentary discussions, it was considered necessary to talk about the results and problems of the previous year, as well as the current state of foreign and domestic politics, in a briefing format.
The Prime Minister said, according to the results of 2022, the key challenge of the Government's activity continues to be ensuring external security.
"The deepening geopolitical instability, the uncertainties and tensions that are becoming evident in the world order and international and security spheres are further exacerbating the threats to Armenia's external security.
Another aggression unleashed by Azerbaijan against Armenia on September 13, 2022, the ongoing aggression of Armenia's sovereign territories, the constant threat of new aggression, the unsettled nature of the Nagorno-Karabakh problem, the incursions of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces into the area of responsibility of the Russian peacekeeping troops in Nagorno-Karabakh, the illegal blockade of the Lachin Corridor, suspension of natural gas and the electric energy supplies to Nagorno-Karabakh and the resulting humanitarian, energy and environmental crises in Nagorno-Karabakh did not allow the RA government to fully focus on the implementation of development agendas", said Pashinyan.
However, according to the Prime Minister, 2022 has become a year of large-scale reforms.
"The government has adopted a policy of not deviating from the agenda of reforms, establishment of state institutions and the development of the republic in the face of security challenges", said Pashinyan.
