As part of independence 29th anniversary celebrations, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan today presented Armenia\u2019s Transformation Strategy by 2050 at Matenadaran. In attendance were members of government, students and schoolchildren.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 30-year transformation strategy is important for us to understand what we want, where we are going and how we represent our Motherland, the Republic of Armenia in 2050\u201d, – Nikol Pashinyan noted that this strategy refers not only to the reforms, but also to the transformations that must take place in all types of public relations, as a result of which we will be able to achieve a jump-start development.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dwelling on the ideological basis of the strategy, the Prime Minister noted: \u201cThe proposed changes are based on our national values, national goals and public demand. We need to understand what is the transformation\u2019s ultimate goal and what task are we setting thereby? Of course, the most powerful ideological basis is the recently adopted National Security Strategy, which outlines the whole range of our national values, though 4 basic values can be singled out from a strategic point of view:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Premier noted that another core element is the statement of our national goals – the eternity of the Armenian statehood, the importance of Armenian citizenship, the preservation and development of our national identity and the mobilization of the pan-Armenian potential.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Coming to the formation of a pan-Armenian axis, Nikol Pashinyan underscored that by saying consolidation of pan-Armenian potential, we should imply equal participation of men and women in decision-making processes at both national and state levels.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWomen are a majority in our country, but several factors have prevented them to make use of their full potential in public life, including the Armed Forces, the economy and the system of state administration. By saying consolidated pan-Armenian potential, we should imply not only Armenians worldwide, but also those social layers, in particular women whose potential can be used effectively while there are no institutional mechanisms or a public consensus. The effective use of this potential is a strategic task for us,\u201d the Head of Government said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the near future we will have a website referred to as \u201cArmenia-2050,\u201d which will become a working platform for discussion, suggestions and criticism. When we saw in the new year of 2020, I declared that we had to shift to strategic management. We planned to hold this presentation in April – on Citizens Day, but we postponed it for well-known reasons. From now on, we must adhere to the principle of strategic management in our daily activities: any decision made by a state authority must have a logical and practical connection with the Strategy,\u201d the Premier emphasized.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In conclusion, Prime Minister Pashinyan answered the questions of interest to the audience.<\/p>\n

A. Hakobyan: <\/strong>“The power of a free and independent Armenia is not only its free and independent, brave sons, but also its daughters”<\/strong><\/p>\n Spouse of the Armenian prime minister Anna Hakobyan addressed a congratulatory message on Armenia\u2019s Independence Day.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cIndependence Day is a special message to better know ourselves, our country, identity, history, opportunities and our potential.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Country\u2019s independence and freedom start from the individual\u2019s independence and freedom. Country is independent, free and strong only in case when each of its citizen, regardless of gender, age, social and health condition, feels himself free, independent, strong and protected in that country.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Today women make up the majority of our society, and unfortunately, many of them break stereotypes every day for working with their preferred profession, living a dignified life, protecting their rights and the rights of their children in different situations, demonstrating a civil consciousness or assuming responsibility towards the state\u2019s future\u201d, the PM\u2019s wife said, congratulating all Armenians on the 29th<\/sup> anniversary of Armenia\u2019s Independence.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sources: Official website of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
