ArmInfo.One of the main questions that is in the air today is whether an economic revolution is possible in Armenia. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said  this on February 23 in Vanadzor during the "My step in the name of  Lori region" business forum.

He noted that another question is whether the government and the  people of Armenia can achieve a result that is considered to be an  economic miracle. "The answer to this question is obvious: the people  who were able to carry out a political miracle are capable of an  economic miracle, and this issue is within our means.  The economic  revolution is one of our top priorities, but we need to understand  what parameters are necessary for it, these are new jobs, a new level  of income, a new level of welfare. And who creates all this? Who is  the author of the result in the economy? The person is the author,  and we want to encourage people to create something within their  opportunities, "Pashinyan stressed.

The Prime Minister said that people will also be inspired by his  words. "Unfortunately, in our reality, the value of the word is often  underestimated. But we will act not only with words. Our next  important step is to create opportunities for real economic activity  through reforms - the elimination of monopolies in the economy,  corruption and legislative reforms," the Premier said.

Pashinyan admitted that to achieve all this is quite difficult. "In  the end, the corruption system in the economy still harbors certain  hopes than the system of free competition. For example, if the share  of business is held by a high-ranking official or this business is  under the auspices of one or another high- ranking official,  responsibility is shared here. And if the general business to  threaten something, he can order the tax not to deal with them and  not pay taxes. Or, if an uncomfortable opponent has appeared, he can  be put out of action. A new situation is different The fact that for  all people the conditions for entrepreneurship will be equal, and no  one can share responsibility for their business with people in power.   A person should know that all responsibility lies with him, that no  government body will artificially create obstacles in development his  business, " Pashinyan said. According to the Prime Minister,  following the results of the economic revolution, responsibility can  be borne only by courageous businessmen who are confident in their  creative talent, hard work, honesty and integrity and know that they  are winners. The motto of our economic revolution is "Stop sitting at  home, now we will stand and walk," concluded Pashinyan.
