“Everything characterizing our nations, are closely linked and not accidentally, we live next to each other for thousands of years. This is a liaison based on mutual respect and checked with time.”
“Today we touched upon how we may make use of those processes for our cooperation and joint projects. During the meeting, as the Minister stated, we have discussed a wide circle of issues existent in the agenda of bilateral relations and we touched upon perspectives for our relations. We spoke of activation of consultations not only on level of Ministers, but that of departments. It’ll be a great honor for me, and I’m ready to host Mr. Nalbandyan at any time preferable for him. Our purpose is implementation of high-level visits for developing cooperation between the two nations,” he stressed.
““Armenia” has obtained a certificate by the Ministry of Economy, which means, it may already launch trade transfers,” Chobanyan said.
Armenia has produced Eurobonds, and this shift will leave its trail if we try to reproduce them, and we will mandatorily produce them to clear off the previous one. For instance, “Mudis” states that indicator of Armenia’s loan management is rather high, however, regarding budget deficit it’s stated that it increases our risks. And budget deficit isn’t a loan management, it’s management of our expenditures and incomes, and there are some problems here. We succeeded this year to confirm the budget a bit lower than previous year, we restrained budget appetite, but it wasn’t enough.
Also due to the reason, that Armenia has quiet borders with Iran and Georgia, these countries have no connection to radical Islamism, i.e. with Sunnis, as Iran is a Shia state against the Islamic State. There is an issue with Turkey and Azerbaijan, however, I don’t think at the moment Turkey may make use of radical Islamists against Armenia, and even Azerbaijan, as for radical Islamists Turkey and Azerbaijan are not upright and pure Muslim states, therefore, if all these enlarges in the region, Azerbaijan and Turkey will be the first to suffer, rather than Armenia.

“The Armenia Investment Climate Reform Project, implemented by the World Bank Group’s Trade and Competitiveness Global Practice, continues to provide advice to the government on investment policy and inspections reforms. The project is built on IFC’s previous Investment Climate Reform Project (2011-2014), which helped the government of Armenia design and adopt reforms in taxes, trade logistics, inspections, and food safety.”
We won’t make unfounded statement that National Statistical Service is busy with painting, and just consider that conscientiously, through their methodology, not forging anything, they obtained growth index. However, if economy is being activated by 4.7%, and discontent and negative expectations increase, then 4.7% has nothing to do with the reality.
According to Tarasov, Azerbaijan understands that all these “smell of kerosene,” the situation radically changes against Azerbaijan, Turkey is rolling into abyss so profoundly that Azerbaijan appeared amid Russia, Iran and sinking Turkey.
Russia continues to get isolated from the civilized world: condemning verdict towards Nadejda Savchenko more deepens the process. Azerbaijan is among those few countries, which may still extend its ties with Russia, not being afraid of further discrediting. Subject of Russia-Azerbaijan trade, naturally, will refer to interests of Armenia and NKR. Besides, economic factor may impact on the conflict as well, as a result of fall in price for oil both Russia and Azerbaijan may become more unpredictable, for the two one of the possible variants to soothe internal tension due to social-economic situation is making use of the conflict, for the purpose to change current status quo.
