It is planned to make a $55 million investment in Syunik province of Armenia.  

Prime Minister of Armenia Karen Karapetyan, who is also the Deputy Chairman of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), stated the aforementioned on Saturday at the meeting with voters in the town of Kapan in Armenia’s Syunik province

In his words, $830-840 million will be invested in 2017. “We already know who will do this and how many jobs will be opened,” Karapetyan said.

According to Karapetyan, the RPA has presented an economic program, which clearly diagnoses all the issues and shortcomings, also presenting the vision of progress.  “The key issue is the efficiency. It is necessary to raise the efficiency of all the spheres—state administration, agriculture, healthcare, etc. The RPA program is built on all this,” Karapetyan stressed.

The PM sees three driving forces in Syunik province: mining industry, cattlebreeding and agriculture.  “Currently, the [province] governor is also holding talks on re-launching the operation of Kapan airport. We are sure that we will do everything that we state,” he said.
