The quality of life in provinces shouldn’t be inferior to that in the capital.

Justice Minister of Armenia, Arpine Hovhannisyan, who ranks third on the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) candidate list, announced the aforementioned on Saturday at the meeting with voters of Kapan town in Syunik province.

According to her, only a few days ago the public services office opened in HayPost office of Kapan, facilitating the possibility of receiving a number of services. “You will no longer have to reach Yerevan, queue, as well as spend time and resources,” Hovhannisyan added.

The Minister is confident that Kapan can become one of the most important towns in the IT sphere. “Here the Mobile Solutions Center already operates, and in a few months a two-year IT education center will open. This is a very good basis, which will mean both [opening of new] jobs and development of the sphere,” he said.

The province has also issues with the quality of healthcare services. In this context, Hovhannisyan said that this year they will implement an evaluation program of the workers of that sphere.

“I can continue the list of the programs but I would like to assure that we have clear ideas and succession of steps in each part of that list. It is no coincidence that in Syunik I frequently think that not much is needed to achieve dreams. Let us move forward together towards the country we dream of—progressive, secure and, of course, just Armenia,” Hovhannisyan said.
