YEREVAN. - Last year the Forbes Magazine published the rating chart
of the world's worst economies, and in it Armenia was in second spot,
only behind Madagascar, Apaga weekly writes.
"In response to that publication, the country's [Armenia's] numerous
statesmen quickly criticized the Magazine's data. Then everyone
began to forget about this publication, especially since this was
'convenient' for many. The qualitative full value of Forbes' rating
chart leaves a feeling of equivocalness, [and] the given publication
seems to 'smell' the scent of oil which is extracted not too far away.
Had Armenia's economy been on another qualitative level, no one would
have dared to send our country to the world's 'economic garbage.' The
world already has all the grounds to laugh at us, especially when we,
on the level of senior officials, attempt to prove that we are not
dashing down the abyss, as Forbes has unjustifiably written, but
rather we are just approaching the edge of that abyss," Apaga writes.
