Armenia to see double-digit economic drop
Armenia will see a double-digit economic drop, said Tatul Manaseryan, adviser to RA National Assembly speaker.
"I would be glad if Armenia fixed 0% economic growth by the middle of 2010," he said, adding that such result will demand titanic efforts. "Despite optimistic forecasts, Armenia will not avoid a double-digit drop. It will be at least 10%."
Besides, the Armenian economy should be diagnosed irrespectively of the economic crisis, according to him.
"I am convinced that we won't be able to overcome the crisis without resolution of our internal problems," Manaseryan said.
