ArmInfo.The lack of lawfulness in our country, as well as the lack of economic development should not be tied to security issues. Acting Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan stated during his speech at the scientific conference "Actual tasks and strategic directions of development of the Armenian economy".
According to the head of the executive body, such attempts are only excuses to justify the plunder of the country. "Human, intellectual capital is our greatest wealth, which we must use for the good of our country and the future. We must reduce all those factors that cause discomfort and make our citizens miserable. One of these factors is bureaucratic delays. Our goal today, to do everything to ensure the well-being and happiness of our citizens", Pashinyan said.

"Once in the prime minister's position, I realized that my previous ideas about the situation in our country were at least" fabulous ", the reality turned out to be completely different. The government should serve our economic and strategic needs. It should ensure our security, and today we have the potential for building such an economy that will allow accomplishing this task, "said the prime minister.

The head of the executive body assured that the ideology of today's government is based on providing equal opportunities for all. According to him, over the years, people have been taught that the responsibility for success and failure lies on the shoulders of the authorities. Pashinyan thinks that it is quite logical if the government takes upon itself the entire burden of responsibility, however, today we need to change this situation, it is necessary to create mechanisms for sharing responsibility. "It is necessary to ensure a change in human behavior, because it was thanks to such changes that the successful implementation of our revolution became possible. Today we have made changes in the political behavior of citizens, and when we can achieve changes in economic behavior, we will be able to get results", Pasinyan said.
In this regard, he stated that in Armenia for many years there was a bad attitude towards business, he was constantly drawn into political processes, forcing him to participate in some dark stories. However, according to the syllables of the head of the executive body, speaking of this, he does not want to denigrate business in any way, but on the contrary, considers it necessary to ensure all conditions for running successful businesses in the country, since this is the locomotive of the economy.
Pashinyan also agreed that the issue of demography in Armenia is one of the most urgent. "If we sit and wait for the results of the birth rate encouragement, we will have to wait for 15-20 years, we must resolve this issue through repatriation, and not only physical, but also ideological, cultural, innovative", he noted.
The head of government also touched upon the problems of universities and expressed the conviction that there should not be their division into departmental and state ones, there should be a consolidation of science, education and research on one platform. "Moreover, we must raise our level of education to international in order to make it possible to attract foreign students to our country, which will allow us to pull this area out of the hole in which it finds itself", Pashinyan concluded.
