ARTSVIK MINASYAN ASKS ARMENIA’S GOVERNMENT TO REMOVE THEIR ROSE-COLOURED GLASSES

Tert.am

Armenia today is in the post-crisis stage of ascent; the 2011 GDP
per capita in the country will reach 2008 indicators, said RA Deputy
Minister of Finance Vardan Aramyan rather optimistically at a press
conference today, noting that this year’s budget based on a 1.2%
economic growth has risen slightly as a result of discussions with
the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The deputy minister announced
that the rate of the economic growth will speed up after June.

The RA Standing Committee on Financial-Credit and Budgetary
Affairs Deputy Chair and Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF-D,
Dashnkatsutyun) MP Artsvik Minasyan, however, didn’t agree with
Aramyan’s forecast. In fact, Minasyan went as far as to say to Aramyan
to remove his rose-coloured glasses, since "the colour density on
the colourful glasses cannot change the situation."

"Your much-loved international bodies record the poverty level in
Armenia as being at 30%, [and] the unemployment indicator is the same.

And it’s not advantageous for you to present the truth with bright
colours," said Minasyan, while proposing the government to publicize
specific results from the work carried out.

Prior to this observation, Aramyan was stating that the level of
unemployment declined in the two months of this year, and that the
government’s decision to raise pension and social welfare payments
will ease the social tension.
