YEREVAN, JULY 30, ARMENPRESS: The rise of the Armenia's role for the
West will bring to the increase of the political weight as well.
This was reported to Armenpress by the political expert Hrant
Melik-Shakhnazaryan, touching upon the completion of the negotiations
between the Republic of Armenia and the European Union on the Deep
and Comprehensive Free Trade Zone Establishment Agreement.
According to Hrant Melik-Shakhnazaryan, Armenia could become a
platform, where the two strong centers could cooperate in the economic
and political fields, thus contributing to the stability of the region,
which is, certainly, a necessity for Russia, Iran and Europe. "This
will further provide the official Yerevan with the opportunity to
conduct a more flexible policy and using the agreement, we will try to
become a more leading country in the region", - said the political
expert. Concerning the issue of the closed border with Turkey,
Hrant Melik-Shakhnazaryan expressed his hope that the signing of the
Association Agreement will contribute to the opening of the border.
The economist Vardan Bostanjyan stated that the value system and
the democracy level are higher in Europe and the civilized world
is wishing to go that way. "I cannot say by now what it will give
Armenia. Though we should form and root the democracy values and
human rights in our country", - said the economist.
The independent studies show that in the long term prospect the
Armenia's economy can obtain additional ~@146 million and a GDP growth
of 2,3%. 15,2% growth is expected from the export from Armenia and
8,2% from import, which in the long term prospect will bring to the
improvement of the trade balance of Armenia. In its turn the European
Union intends to get ~@74 million.
