"If the construction is actively developing, other spheres are developing, for any state the development of the urban development sector has a multiplier effect, having a positive impact on the development of other areas of the country's economy." The state in which the construction sector develops is going through a period of progress. Our ancestors left us an exceptional heritage, which we are proud of, presenting it to the world and generations. It is remarkable that the Armenian builders today are developing the experience they have received from great masters and tradition ii, building strong and beautiful building with a modern-day application of innovative solutions and technologies ", said Karen Karapetyan.

"There are already numerous projects in the capital and in the regions, and in this context, the statistics we are currently distributing are very interesting and encouraging, and we are ready to create additional conditions for the development of the economy and for attracting investments, I would like to record, That the tendencies of activation are observed in the construction sector and we are confident that we will make progress in speeding up the growth of the sphere, "the Armenian government head said. He added that for the first six months of this year, according to statistics, there is a decline in two areas - construction and agriculture. "According to our forecasts, by October this year in the construction sector there will be such indicators that will supplement the pace of the last year, and by the end of 2017 there will be growth," Karen Karapetyan said, adding that last month there were tendencies to growth.
