  • Armenia faces industrial collapse

    ARMENIA, 2014/11/09 The industrial development rate in Armenia is about 5-6 times below than the same indicators it had during the Soviet era. Chief of the Union of Domestic Producers, expert Vazgen Safaryan said the new records about tax payers in Armenia revealed the industry's miserable situation. "The inventory of the top ten major tax payers in the initial nine moths of this year included only three manufacturers - Zangezur Molybdenum Combine, Grand Tobacco and Yerevan Brandy Plant. That's a real example of disastrous industrial regression in Armenia," Safaryan noted.
