YEREVAN. – We will not end the year with a decline. The Minister of Economy, Tigran Khachatryan, said this Friday in a talk with reporters in the National Assembly of Armenia.

"We have at least 0.5% growth in economic activity, as compared to last year, for nine months. I am confident that we will end the year with a higher indicator because the statistical indicators related to the grape harvest will be summed up in the fourth quarter, which were significantly higher than last year, and grapes have a very large share in the crops of the fourth quarter.

I can say for sure that we will have higher economic activity than last year. We will calculate the number, we will say," Khachatryan said.
