production growth reached 18 percent, capital development -- 40
percent and export -- 34 percent, the president emphasised.
According to him foreign debts mostly for credits on easy terms
amounted to 40-44 percent of Armenia's GDP that testifies to the
solvency of the country.

improvement of the life quality in the republic," Kocharyan remarked.
Educational reforms, particularly the transition to the two-stage
educational system are carried out so that the Armenian education
