The World Economic Forum 2014 will take place in Davos of Switzerland on January 22-25. This is one of the most outstanding economic global events in the world, which hosts presidents and top leaders of countries around the world. Armenia is not participating in the World Economic Forum in Davos this year. Instead of this event the Armenian government prefers to participate in other economic platforms.
A debate between the Armenian second president Robert Kocharyan and the incumbent Prime-Minister Tigran Sargsyan has become one of the most discussed topics in Armenia, even to the extent of becoming a debate between Kocharyan and the government. This debate will continue for a long time if it is not stopped by any unexpected circumstance. There are dozens of opinions about the conflict between the incumbent and previous presidents of Armenia, which generally are of two types.
It was expected that the office of former president Robert Kocharyan would disseminate a statement in answer to energy minister Armen Movsisyan’s and education minister Armen Ashotyan’s announcements.
The prime minister had better say nothing. If you have so many mortgages, why do you have so little construction? If we believe in figures, then the conclusion from the article is one: despite the stable growth of mortgage and improvement of its conditions, we have less and less construction.
There is a very nice proverb, which would be very beneficial for our society and we could use it to measure morality: “Do not judge people with what others say about them, but judge people with what they say about others.”
These are the main reasons for stable reduction of the volume of construction projects in Armenia. Everything is very simple and understandable (but not for people that have “exclusive talent”). This is not the fault of the previous government or aliens. It is a long time that the crisis has nothing to do with this either. It is impossible to avoid liability.
Since the economic downturn in 2008 and the fall off in gold and other commodity prices in the last two years it has become a challenge to attract investments in any business, especially in the mining sector. Mining projects require large capital investments and are often high risk, considering the market volatility and initial funding needed for exploration that does not always guarantee positive results.
A father of four infants Vardan is saying that not only do they not look forward to the Christmas holidays but claim that these are days of “fiasco and shame” for them.
Russian president Vladimir Putin’s recent visit to Armenia was the last step on the way to the collapse of the Armenian statehood that started on September 3rd, when the Armenian president announced about joining Customs Union.
Business Innovation Forum was launched in Dilijan yesterday. PM Tigran Sargsyan participated in the forum, where he made a speech on the IT sector in Armenia and prospects of development.
