The Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan met with the delegation
of the World Bank headed by the World Bank's managing director, Dr
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. In answer to the observation of the WB managing
director, that Armenia must take into account the modernization
experience of other countries, Tigran Sargsyan said that our country,
taking into account the world best experiences must not copy them
but elaborate its own formula of success.
On September 19, the Singaporean Senior Minister Li Kwan Yu, the
author of the economic miracle of that country, the former prime
minister of Singapore took part in the board session of the National
Competitiveness Council. He presented the lessons taken from the steps
aimed at the Singaporean national competitiveness and was answered
in a similar way.
What Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and Li Kwan Yu said: very simple things: that
they have to eliminate the monopolistic mechanisms, the oligarchic
economy and create equal start conditions, to separate the business
from the government and to create such tax and customs legislations
for the small and midsize businesses to develop. Right what happened
in Singapore. In other words, things that our prime minister says
on different occasions. But he adds "in accordance with out national
characteristics" when the time to act comes.
Now, it is comprehensible for everyone that the misfortune of Armenia
is determined by its political-economic structure. Such a structure
does not have anything in common with "national characteristics". And
the elimination of such a structure has anything in common with the
"national characteristics neither. There have long before been created
effective mechanisms of overcoming such situations in the world and
of taking up the way of constructing a dynamic, effective country.
So, they do not need to hide behind the "national characteristics".
Either they have to do what the interests of Armenia and people demand,
or they do not need to convince people that an Armenian oligarch may
become a lawful citizen who comes out of the shadow and pays taxes
renouncing electoral breaches and shaved-heads.
