Armenia is planning to intensify its export potential but not due to primary resources, Armenia's Deputy Foreign Minister Vardan Aramyan said at the 2nd Economic Forum of the Republican Party of Armenia "Armenia-Customs Union: Opportunities and Challenges" on Saturday.
He said that orientation towards primary resources may lead Armenia to negative consequences as it will make the country dependent on fluctuations in global prices.
"Within the Customs Union we may consider one more industrialization program, which may concern such sectors as chemistry, machine building and information technologies," Aramyan said, adding that in order to boost its exports, Armenia needs transport infrastructure, and so, it will have to continue its talks with Russian and Georgian transportation companies.
