YEREVAN, AUGUST 16, NOYAN TAPAN. There will be no considerable progress
in the Armenian economy and no new investments will be made until
the 2008 presidential elections, as well as no new programs will
be carried out unless they are implemented by businessmen in close
cooperation with the authorities. Prof.Tatul Manaserian expressed
this opinion at the August 16 press conference.
He expressed a wish to see "the start of the reforms promised in the
period preceding elections to the National Assembly." According to the
economist, it is necessary to implement these reforms so that voters
will have confidence at the upcoming presidential elections. "In this
sense, some progress is not ruled out," he said.
