Armenia, which has a ruined agriculture, can export nothing to the market of the Eurasian Union. Lyova Khachatryan, MP from the Prosperous Armenia Party, thinks that Armenia's agriculture is absolutely unready to join the EAEU.
"Production needs money, means, investments. How can we speak of export if the authorities are destroying not only the small and medium businesses, but also the agriculture due to their policy?" Khachatryan said at today's press conference.
He said that the prime cost of the agricultural equipment is too high and the loan rates are also high.
The MP pointed out the land contamination due to the operation of small-scale hydropower plants. 200 ha of land plots are contaminated in Aragatsotn region. "The HPPs have been built without a relevant study of the local conditions", said Khachatryan.
