Although it was planned to ensure an 8-10% economic growth by 2010,
the predictions will, probably, not come true because of the global
economic crisis.
Referring to the calculation of specialists, member of the Prosperous
Armenia Party faction, MP Vardan Bostanjyan told a press conference
today that, most probably, a 6% growth will be registered in 2009. "In
2009 we will have a very strained situation. There will, certainly,
be difficulties, but not insurmountable ones," Bostanjyan predicted.
The MP noted that Prosperous Armenia has no anti-crisis program,
with which it could help the Government. According to Vardan
Bostanjyan, it’s incorrect for everyone to present himself as a
savior. Consolidation of political forces is needed in a difficult
situation, he said.
As for the rumors about the meeting of the Prosperous Armenia Party
and particularly the predictions that the party is going to cast
a vote of no confidence in the Government, Vardan Bostanjyan said:
"I reject the rumors because it is something artificially thought
out by people who dislike the state. The Prosperous Armenia Party
has never had such an approach and will never have."
