ArmInfo. According to our accounts the damage to the Armenian economy
as a result of the known events is about 670 mln dollars, Armenian
Prime Minister Tigran Sarkisyan said in an interview with Day.Az.
‘The conflict was a serious test on stability of Armenian
economy. Today we can say that over the last years stability of the
economy of our country has risen sharply. The population have not
practically felt goods delivery cease’, – he said.
At the same time the prime minister said that such conflicts cannot but
affect the neighbouring states especially Armenia which has limited
transport ways. ‘About 70% of Armenian foreign commodity circulation
is via the territory of Georgia. But all the systems of life support
were functioning in the ordinary regime. Over the two days we fixed
petrol queues which in fact were more the result of the panic mood’,
– Sarkisyan said.
