ArmInfo. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's short- sighted policies will only worsen the country's agricultural crisis in the near future. This opinion was shared by Mesrop Arakelyan, co-founder of the "Country to Live" party, on his Facebook page.
According to him, the current authorities continue to feed the people with "apricot kernels," assuring them that the agricultural sector is performing well.
"However, according to official statistics, the agricultural sector declined by 12% in H1 2026. Such a figure has not been recorded for over 15 years. As a result of Pashinyan's short-sighted policies, problems in agriculture will only worsen in the near future," Arakelyan wrote.
It should be noted that according to statistical data for the H1 2026, the agricultural sector's dynamics worsened, reversing from 7.3% growth to a double-digit 11.9% decline. In absolute terms, the agricultural sector ranks fourth, with 310.1 billion drams ($828.3 million).
