YEREVAN. - There are various people in the state system who work inefficiently.

Armenian Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan said the aforementioned at the meeting with students at the American University of Armenia (AUA) on Friday, referring to one of the participant’s concern on that many Armenian companies are forced to dismiss their workers, certain Russian companies hindering their business.

“If you want to speak factually, give the entire information to [my advisor] Aram Vardevanyan. But 40-50 percent redundancy in business is not always bad. If 40-50 percent redundant people are included in the self-value, the redundancy may be a strategic solution. I don’t want people to be unemployed but redundancy is not necessarily a negative thing. There are various people in the state system, who work inefficiently,” Karapetyan said.
