International operations don’t threaten the economy of Armenia;
Government’s activities do threaten it, said Andranik Tevanyan,
the director of "Politeconomy" political, economic, legal survey
institute in a press conference.

"We are a consumer country. The prices of some goods are reduced in the
international market but not in our country. If we have free economic
cooperation and not monopolies, the prices could become lower in our
country also. State is not willing to compete against that system as
it is closely connected with business," he said.

A. Tevanyan said that of course the state should fight against economy
under shadow, but they should start from the highest rank and not
from the lowest one.
