Some of the current year's difficulties and uncertainties that have
objective reasons are likely to continue in Armenia in 2015, Armenian
President Serzh Sargsyan said on Monday during a reception for the
business community held on the occasion of the approaching New Year
and Holy Nativity.
At the same time, he spoke about new opportunities offered by Eurasian
integration as Armenia prepares to enter the new economic grouping
of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan on January 1.
"Any state, any economy, even the most powerful economies like
the United States or the European Union, can always encounter
difficulties. In countries like ours these difficulties may happen
more often," said President Sargsyan as quoted by his press service.
The head of state stressed that it is important that "at the moment
of these difficulties we should not seek someone to blame or put
responsibility on, and if the situation stabilizes a little, we should
not try to claim laurels for that."
"In such situations it is important that we don't panic and each
of us continues their duties. Then these difficulties are easier to
overcome," the president stressed.
Sargsyan also addressed the prospects for the Armenian economy in the
context of the new integration processes and the country's imminent
membership in the Russian-led Eurasian Economic Union. According
to him, new integration processes open up new opportunities and new
challenges at the same time.
"I have no doubts that our entrepreneurs are competitive and have what
to say and will have their role in the new economic union as well,"
President Sargsyan said.
