The Armenian president stressed the private sector's role in the
country's economy as he hosted representatives of the business
community on Monday.
Congratulating the businessmen on the coming New Year and Christmas
holidays, Serzh Sarsyan said he finds that the well-being of hundreds
and thousands Armenian citizens is linked also to the activities and
achievements of private enterprises.
He also addressed difficulties and uncertainties of the past year,
saying that they may also continue in 2015 due to unforeseen reasons
not depending on Armenia alone. But he emphasized the need of joint
efforts by the authorities and the business community for ensuring
maximum perfect results.
"In any state of the world and in any economy - such as the United
States and the common economy of the European Union - complications
and difficulties are always possible. In countries like ours such
complications and difficulties may occur more frequently. It is
extremely important here to avoid searching for culprits or putting
the laurels on our shoulders once the situation stabilizes a little,"
he said.
The president further spoke of economic developments. "I have to
note nonetheless that in my impression, Armenia's business community
did not work badly in 2014 and managed, in major part, to overcome
the existing difficulties. Considering this context, where you have
worked, dear businessmen, considering the economic situation around
the globe, including Europe, Russia and our region, the year should
be considered effective," Sargsyan added.
He then introduced the businessmen to the perspectives opening to the
country in light of new integration processes. "The new year brings
along new opportunities which are linked to Armenia's membership
in the Eurasian Economic Union. But we are also aware that new
opportunities are simultaneously new challenges. I have no doubt that
our entrepreneurs are competitive and have serious things to say. So
they will voice their statements also inside that new economic union.
You can say that with your deeds, your effective work and new ideas,"
he president added.
Sargsyan said he feels that most of the plans outlined for next year
will have been accomplished by his 2015 end-of-year meeting with
businesspeople. "I wish all those realized dreams to bring welfare
to our people and state," the Armenian leader said at the end.
