YEREVAN, APRIL 3, NOYAN TAPAN. The current authorities of Armenia
carried out a "merger of property and power", due to which "55%
of property belongs to people who have political power." The
former prime minister of the RA Hrant Bagratian expressed this
opinion on April 3. According to him, the elite of the former
authorities did not accumulate a large amount of property, while the
current authorities are trying to attribute such actions to them,
particularly, by opening the "mazut case". In the opinion of Hrant
Bagratian, Armenia's economic growth rates are actually lower than is
presented by official statistics. He said that so high growth rates
could have been registered if the Armenian economy had hdd a high
level of cooperation with neighboring countries.
At the same time, in his words, the current Armenian authorities have
continued the previous authorities' policy of eliminating restrictions
on tax-budgetary and economic activity.
