YEREVAN.- Armenian Finance Minister Vache Gabrielyan will spend New Year Eve with his family in Armenia.

“I cannot name any New Year family tradition. We are just drinking for luck and wish each other health. New Year is a good chance to meet with relatives and friends,” he told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

The Minister said that 2011 for him was a year of increasing responsibility and less time to spend with his family.

“Unfortunately, Finance Minister does not have a chance to rely on Santa Claus. I wish all of us a stable and peaceful year,” he said.
