Karen Karapetyan: Government will fight monopolies under new rules of  the game

ArmInfo. The government will fight monopolies under new rules of the game, Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan stated today answering to journalists' questions. 

"There will be equal rules of the game. As the market is small there  will always be large players in various fields, the question is  whether these monopolies are natural or not. However, this does not  mean that we will put an end to successful business", he stressed.  Answering to a journalist's question whether there were other rules  before his appointment, he answered yes. At the same time he did not  agree that his predecessor Abrahamyan has failed his mission.  "Abrahamyan has picked up a heavy burden in complex conditions", he  noted. 

At the same time Karapetyan noted that the situation has changed in  the country since he has left the position of Yerevan mayor and this  determines his return to politics. "I am very concerned over the  economic situation in the country", the Prime Minister stated.  "Complex economic situation develops due to objective and subjective  reasons, we should make a right diagnosis and start treatment", he  noted. 

According to him he responds with a smile on remarks that he is  Kremlin's envoy. Answering to the question what external political  line he will take, Karapetyan said that he will present a program  reflecting his vision.
