YEREVAN, MAY 17, ARMENPRESS. President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan said spending state resources sparingly and efficiently is a vital necessity. The President’s announcement comes after the meeting with Ilham Aliyev in Vienna.

“Who says we didn’t have this wish in the past? Of course, this needs to be done. Each and every one of us, be it executive, legislative or judicial, must understand that every day we should think about improvements. We haven’t talked about this once. It wasn’t necessary for this four-day war to happen for us to speak of improvements. I gave a speech on 12 February, as you know I couldn’t have forecasted the developments of April, and I spoke about improvements. When we initiated the Constitutional reforms, it meant a beginning of improvements. February was the next stage, whether or not the military operations would have happened, those improvements and changes must go on”, Serzh Sargsyan said.

According to the President, many are dissatisfied with the pace of these changes, but on the other hand, it is necessary to understand that sudden changes will not lead to any good.

“You see changes in the economy, the attitude, on the other hand there are military operations, are these compatible? One can always blame the leadership for slowness or alleged slowness. But the best criterion for this is to look at the issue in comparison. That is the correct way”, the President added.
