Jrbashyan added that according to objective indices export dimension develops faster than that of import. “It accounts for price conjuncture in the international market and fostering Armenian manufacturer,” he noted. Adhering to liberal economic views, Jrbashyan sees development both in export and import in sound competition. “Export expansion barriers are fewer than those of import, with the latter in Armenia being monopolized.
