ArmInfo. It is necessary to deeply understand the situation in which Armenia finds itself in order to get out of it with dignity. Arkady Khachatrian, a deputy of the RA National Assembly from the "Enlightened Armenia" faction, stated this at the parliamentary hearings on the current situation in the country on December 7.
According to him, a very difficult moral and psychological situation has developed in the country, the dignity of the people has been grossly violated, and social problems are appearing every day. This year alone, an 8% economic decline is expected, which means a decrease in the average standard of living of a citizen of Armenia. Against this background, there is a sharp increase in public debt, huge uncertainties for business entities and citizens who have changed their image, which generates risks to financial stability. The only thing that is observed in the country today is macroeconomic stability, which can collapse if financial stability is violated, and this, in turn, will lead to an economic disaster. In the face of such uncertainty, investment should not be expected. Meanwhile, without investments and attracting foreign capital, it is impossible to modernize the economy, ensure the growth of production potential and the development of human capital. Moreover, there is currently an outflow of capital.
Unfortunately, as noted by Arkady Khachatryan, the war left its mark on the demographic situation, the country lost thousands of "gold" guys. "Uncertainty can play a negative role in the opening of borders, which will lead to the emigration of the population." If the resources of the nation are not urgently mobilized, the situation can completely get out of control, "the deputy said, pointing out the presence of political instability, the growth of public discontent, the division of society into black and white, words hate. appeals. All this, according to the deputy, must be excluded in order to establish public solidarity.
