YEREVAN. – Newly appointed Armenian Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan does not plan on working with those ministers who do not carry out his new government program, which soon will be submitted to the National Assembly, Abrahamyan stated on Friday.

“The changes being made in the program will not be an end unto itself. We will work as much realistically as possible. [But] I don’t expect big changes, since it [the program] is at the discussion phase. My main objective is that what is reflected in the program be implemented.

“I have tasked all the government members that the given minister carry out the program which is the respective ministry has introduced. If not, we will not walk along [with him].

“Today, we no longer can slow down. [But,] of course, it is clear for everyone that we don’t have a magic wand to solve all the problems,” Abrahamyan specifically noted.
