Pashinyan: The power of monopolies and existing oligopolies in  Armenia has already been reduced to naught

ArmInfo. Economic revolution is chosen as the next goal of our government and the cornerstone of its programme, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated in an  intervew to Euractiv. 

As the Prime Minister noted, having this in mind the government  adopted and already started implementing an ambitious reform agenda.  As I mentioned on many occasions, the fight against corruption,  eradication of monopolies, elimination of poverty, consolidation of  the independent judiciary system, establishment of rule of law, and a  level playing field for all economic and political actors are among  the priorities, Pashinyan mentioned. 

Pashinyan the government is going to put in force a package of robust  measures to reform tax and customs systems. The authorities also  focus on reforming the education system. People should be able to  live and create in a rapidly evolving world where progress is driven  by knowledge, Pashinyan stated. 

A lot of visible changes have already occurred in our country over  the past few months. For example, we have already eradicated systemic  corruption in Armenia. The power of monopolies and existing  oligopolies in Armenia has already been reduced to naught. Today,  there is nobody in Armenia who is able to use political influence to  achieve economic goals anymore.

Our goal is the establishment of conditions for unrestricted,  unlimited realization of the intellectual and entrepreneurial  potential of our people. Our goal is also the establishment of  favourable conditions for doing business in Armenia and attracting  foreign direct investments.
