ArmInfo. Release from the system of monopolies may become an
accelerator for Armenia’s economy, Executive Director of the Armenian
National Competitiveness Foundation Bekor Papazyan said.

"The countries of South Eastern Asia managed to progress in economic
development due to employment of women. Armenia also has a resource
for progress – it is the release from monopolies and implementation
of structural reforms not only in economy, but also education and
other spheres",- Papazyan said.

He said education also needs structural reforms to meet modern
criteria of personnel training. "Today we say that Armenia has
high skilled programmers, however, they are few, consequently, the
educational system is in crisis as it is unable to serve our personnel
potential. By solving these two problems, we shall be able to make
our economy successful",- Papazayan said.
