President Serzh Sarkisian chaired the first meeting of his new but mostly unchanged government on Monday, telling its members to ensure that economic growth in Armenia is well above earlier government projections this year.
Sarkisian finished the cabinet's formation on Saturday, more than one month after parliamentary elections that were controversially won by his Republican Party of Armenia (HHK).
As expected, Prime Minister Tigran Sarkisian and 13 of the 18 ministers in the previous cabinet retained their posts. Four of the five new ministers were appointed to positions that were until now occupied by members of the Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK), the election runner-up that decided to pull out of the ruling coalition.
