BILL TO GRANT PRIVILEGES TO BORDER REGIONS EFFECTIVE STEP - ECONOMISTS
12:21 * 20.08.14
Armenian economists praise the political forces' unanimous stance on
the idea to grant privileges to the population in border regions.
At a news conference on Wednesday, President of the Union of Local
Manufacturers Vazgen Safaryan said the opposition parties managed
to demonstrate a constructive approach to the proposal which is
thought to be an effective step towards relieving the burden of
border communities.
"The idea to declare border villages free economic zones has been
in our program, and it is good that the situation itself urged the
government to take more effective steps," he said, stressing the
importance of concerted efforts.
Mikael Melkumyan, a lawmaker of the opposition-leaning Prosperous
Armenia party, said their political force too, had the issue on its
agenda. "Making investments in a border zone is not easy at all,
but it is necessary to create conditions. Those who have stayed in
border area will not have to leave from now on," he said, calling for
government efforts to ensure an enabling atmosphere for investments.
