“The Government is supporting importers regardless of whether credits have been borrowed or not,” the member of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) parliamentary faction Ara Nranyan told reporters. He expressed the opinion that the Government should support sectors rather than individual organizations.

“The Government should support sectors, as supporting individual organizations means violating competition principles and thus contributing to monopolization,” Nranyan said.

On the other hand, making investments and running business is not so advisable in Armenia. “If people feel they can freely set up businesses, try to leave the state-run sector and establish their own businesses, it will mean competition does exist. But no civil servant will dare take such a step now,” Nranyan said.
