"The terrible thing is that our respective ministers are not aware
about the state of their field," Eduard Aghajanov, an economist by
profession, told reporters today speaking about the current state
of economy.
"The minister of finance and economy has stated that foreign trade
deficit made up 5 percent of GDP in 2006," he noted also saying the
official statistics has reported 18.5 percent.
In the words of Aghajanov, the minister of agriculture has stated
that agriculture makes up 22 percent of the GDP whereas according
to the same official statistics the share of agriculture in GDP is
17,7 percent.
"Under these conditions I have a doubt if the president and the prime
minister of the country are aware about these data since respective
ministers do not know what is going on in their fields," Aghajanov
summed up.
