"They described themselves the policy they have been conducting so
far, how they have been accruing the budget," stated the secretary
of the People’s Party of Armenia Grigor Harutiunyan, at the Pastark
Club on September 19 in commenting on the draft budget for 2008.

He asks how the budget of 2008 will be boosted up to 2.5 billion and
answers: "Did the economy grow, did industry develop? We ask them,
they say they collected taxes, now they will collect 2.5 billion. They
do not tell the source, where it is acquired. The source is clear,
of course, shadow businesses, where is shadow, yesterday one of my
colleagues said a shadow is a shadow which is not seen. Unfortunately,
we all know where the shadow is. The shadow is somewhere above,
closer to them, and in the pre-election period they expose a small
part of the shadow and give it to people," Grigor Harutiunyan says.

At the same time, he says in speaking about boosting the budget
they fail to mention inflation, they fail to mention that after
the parliamentary election the price of bread has gone up for the
second time.
