PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian National Congress member, ex-Prime Minister Hrant Bagratyan slammed current economic downturn in Armenia.

At Armenian National Congress (ANC) opposition bloc rally, the politician refuted authorities’ reports of doubled incomes among the population.

“Every year, we’re told about increased number of jobs, with unemployment still persisting. The load of economic crisis is shifted onto people’s shoulders while oligarchs are the ones to enjoy foreign donations meant for Armenian citizens,” the MP stressed.

As he noted, the names of those who fell victim to the authorities’ economic crimes will be collected.

Armenian National movement leader Aram Manukyan, in turn, noted to have received video materials with reports of Diaspora’s Armenian community support for ANC.
