`Our strategy is simple and clear. We will support all the
infrastructures that ensure the normal activity of the country's
economy,' T. Sargsyan said.
The second field is the support of small and medium-sized enterprises,
which are of importance for Armenia as socially-oriented enterprises.
The third is to ensure macroeconomic stability.
