“Government at a Standstill: Chess Program Analysis Delayed, Leaves Citizens Wondering About Quality of Life”
The authorities have recently announced that if the roads are opened, we can expect to live well. This statement has sparked curiosity among many, including myself. In a session held on December 6, Artur Khachatryan, a member of the “Armenia” faction, raised the question in the National Assembly as to whether the government has conducted an analysis of the effectiveness of the chess program. He received a response from the IT Commission stating that they cannot provide an answer at the moment due to incomplete technical analysis. Khachatryan called upon the government to provide explanations and calculations regarding the benefits of the chess program.
In response, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan claimed that they have calculations and analyses conducted by international organizations, but he expressed his confusion as to why they haven’t been shared with the public. He assured that they can provide the requested information. Additionally, the Prime Minister emphasized that the “Chess Program of the Joy of Living” is not merely a technical calculation but a larger project with political, security, and regional implications.
In the ongoing discussion, Artur Khachatryan pointed out the need to compare the open road to the closed road and questioned why a particular road, such as the Ijevan-Gazakh road, is open while others remain closed. He argued that it is often more challenging to reach certain destinations using the northern road compared to the southern one. He also brought up the political reasons behind Turkey’s closure of certain roads and suggested discussing the underlying motives.
Prime Minister Pashinyan acknowledged that we live in an era of instant information dissemination thanks to the Internet. He emphasized that whatever happens in practice can be seen within minutes and that scientific journals often provide information faster than media outlets. He assured everyone that there should be no lack of information or transparency in this digital age.
