The systemic changes in the Armenian economy should first of all be
marked by Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan's resignation, ex-premier
of Armenia, member of the Armenian National Congress Hrant Bagratyan
told journalists with confidence.
"The economic growth constantly being spoken of by the government
is observed in the ore mining industry only, whereas GDP is usually
calculated without any fundamental field in order to receive the
real scene of its growth. 10-15% GDP growth was fixed in Azerbaijan,
excluding the oil revenues. I am convinced that the registration of
the mines' owners in offshore zones taken on board by this government
is at least absurd, as it turns out that the revenues from the mineral
resources of our country are received by an unknown person", he said.
According to Bagratyan, the situation in Armenian economy leaves much
to be desired, as in 2008 Armenia was in the 114th place in the world
by its revenues per capita, whereas according to the latest data, the
republic has dropped to the 144th place. Moreover, Armenia's economy
is built on wrong solutions and fundament, and everything must be
changed basically. In this context, he thinks that it is very hard
to imagine how the dialogue between the ANC and the RPA will develop
in the field of economy.
"I don't think Tigran Sargsyan can understand anything, having
made relevant conclusion from the current situation, therefore, the
president should dismiss him", he said and added that someone else
may be appointed premier, for instance, Galoust Sahakyan. "This will
be much more interesting. He will do nothing at least", Bagratyan
concluded.
