"Only small business representatives open working places. In opposite
to it the working places are being cut in big business. It means that
small business not only solves economic but social problems. I guess
only in Armenia small business is not under country’s support," Edward
Aghajanov said, today in a press conference with the journalists.
"Our authorities say that they provide support to small and average
business representatives, but they do not point any aspect they do it,"
he said.
Aghajanov talked about the problem of lack of working places and
second the salaries. According to the official data 85 workers takes
care 100 pensioners.
According to the economist it is "absurd, as there is no other country
where the number of pensioners is higher than that of workers."
