YEREVAN, OCTOBER 27, NOYAN TAPAN. Armenia has shown a two-digit economic growth in recent years, and there is no reason for a decline in this growth in the future.

This was the last press conference of Roger Robinson, who has completed his mission in Armenia and received a new appointment in Kyrghyzstan. The new director of the WB Yerevan Office will be appointed within a month. R.
