ARMENIAN LEADERSHIP’S APPROACHES IN OVERCOMING ECONOMIC CRISIS BELONG TO OPPOSITION: BAGRATYAN

16:05 ~U 18.01.10
The Armenian leadership’s ideas on overcoming the global economic
crisis, in actual fact, belong to the opposition, said Armenian
National Congress representative and former prime minister Hrant
Bagratyan at a press conference today. Three proposals, in particular –
the creation of a pan-Armenian bank, construction of an Iran-Armenia
pipeline, and the building of a new nuclear power plant – are nothing
new: they have been heard since 1992.
In particular, the idea of creating a pan-Armenian bank came about
in May 1992.
As for the creation of an Iran-Armenia gas pipeline, Bagratyan stated
that an agreement had been signed at one time, though the actual
process of beginning construction began with the advent of a new
government. The former prime minister also noted that he had signed
an agreement on creating a new nuclear power plant in 1998.
"But those issues cannot raise the country’s economy, since there
are more important issues," concluded Bagratyan.
