taxes. According to Georgian forecasts, taxes will make up 20% of
Georgian GDP whereas in Armenia the rate is very low. Last year taxes
made up only 14.3% of the Armenian GDP.

"Increase in tax revenues are a major problem for the government,"
Khachatryan said adding that GDP growth is big in the country whereas
taxe revenues stay behind.
