"Daring steps." This was how the President of the Union of
Manufacturers and Businessmen of Armenia, Arsen Ghazaryan,
characterized the Government’s anti-crisis program. Those steps are
targeted at promoting the business programs. "Serious government
support alongside the free market is noticeable," the President of
the Union said.

Arsen Ghazaryan hopes that if businessmen review their programs,
Armenia will come out of the crisis, building a strong economy.

Representatives of the opposition say the Government’s steps,
especially the legislative initiatives, are belated. President of the
Union of Manufacturers and Businessmen of Armenia does not share the
opinion, adding that all spheres need support.

"It would be if the steps were taken a few years ago. But today the
economic policy is radically changing because of the current situation.

Assistance will be provided to all spheres, which will submit seriously
worked out programs," Arsen Ghazaryan said.
