Ilarionov, an aide to the RF President Vladimir Putin, said at the
investment conference today.

Calculated for 4 years and with 9 months of 2004 taken into account,
the cumulative growth of the GDP stood at 26.2%, though the indicator
was up 53% in Armenia. Russia’s GDP grows 6% annually, on average.
