YEREVAN. – The Government of Armenia should consider alternative economic programs. Alternative Research Center Director, economist Tatul Manaseryan stated this during a press conference on Saturday.  

In Manaseryan’s words, such programs can be of great benefit, and they should not be rejected just because their designers are others. 

To the question as to whether the authorities solely accept liberal-oriented programs, the economist remarked that “isms” have remained in the past after the global economic crisis in 2008.

“[We] should be more pragmatic. The program should be evaluated in accordance with the suitability to local conditions, [and] the rationality of the proposals,” Tatul Manaseryan stated.
