The current issues and strategic directions of Armenia’s economic development” has been released by the initiative of the Union of Manufacturers and Businessmen of Armenia where the leading economists of our countries introduced their visions on putting Armenia’s economic development on stable grounds. I want to state that their vision is in accordance with that of the government by 100%”, Pashinyan noted.
