YEREVAN, JUNE 17, NOYAN TAPAN. Armenia's economy is able and should develop by its own regularities and independently overcome the financial-economic crisis. Economist, Adviser to RA NA Speaker Tatul Manaserian expressed such an opinion at the June 16 press conference. According to his prediction, the worst period of the crisis will be in mid-2010 or in late 2010, and Armenia should be ready for it. T. Manaserian gave a positive answer to the question of whether Armenia's economic system is able to develop without assistance from the outer world mentioning that everything depends on those working out and implementing economic programs. According to the economist, a team of specialists should be formed in the country that should be able to realize what burden it assumes, will have an idea about Armenia's and world economic processes. "The current government is very far from the government I imagine," he said. T. Manaserian also touched upon the tax package submitted for discussion at NA several days ago. According to him, today big entrepreneurs do not provide necessary documents to proper state structures, which, in its turn, contributes to development of shadow economy, and we should fight it in some way. "Any bill should just have a grounding. The grounding the government presented on the tax package is abstract," T. Manaserian said.
