WORLD BANK SAYS ARMENIA NOT TO HAVE TWO-DIGIT GDP
GROWTH IN 2008-2009

Armenia will not have two-digit growth of GDP in
2008-2009, Rojer Robinson, head of Yerevan office of
World Bank (WB), told a news conference today. He said
WB has never forecast 12.5% growth of GDP for Armenia.
In his words, one should be very careful in economic
forecasts because they serve as a base for the state
budget. `However, I do not see a reason for not
keeping to the pace of stable economic growth,’ he
said. `Armenia need serious institutional reforms for
stable pace of GDP growth for the coming 10 years,’
Robinson said. /Panorama.am/

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
