YEREVAN. - Prime Minister of Armenia Karen Karapetyan is a little skeptical about the data of the National Statistical Service of Armenia in regard to agriculture.

He noted the aforementioned at the meeting with media representatives on Monday, commenting on the data concerning 30 percent drop in agriculture over October 2016.

''The statistical data in the sphere of agriculture are collected by means of the community leaders, the impact of the subjective factor being quite high here. The drop in thе sphere of agriculture can be explained but a more objective control over statistical data is needed,'' he said, adding that the President of the National Statistical Service is himself skeptical about these data.
