/PanARMENIAN.Net/ In the frames of the anti-crisis program, Armenia
has focused on the implementation of infra-structure projects and
micro-enterprise development, Russian expert, Director of FBK's
Strategic analysis department Igor Nikolaev said during Yerevan-Moscow
video bridge on "CIS: Experiencing Economic Crisis". The crisis,
according him has a systematic character. "When the problem is
systemic, it is necessary to combat it in a systemic manner," he said.
As noted by the expert, the worst GDP indices on CIS territory were
registered in Ukraine and Moldova which didn't implement anti-crisis
programs, whereas Belarus and Ukraine were not included in the general
program at all, because their anti-crisis projects are closed and
not available for research.
Russia doesn't have positive results either, Nikolaev said. "Russia is
the centre of CIS. And if we don't want to lose that CIS, we should
keep in mind that having a strong centre is the best guarantee for
maintenance. In that context, Russian economy's success and failures
apply to the entire commonwealth, not only to Russia," Russian expert
said. That's why, crisis is a moment of truth for CIS, he added.
