The "Fact" daily writes:
The actual failure of the income declaration process, mass dissatisfaction wave from taxes and duties. There is an opinion that this policy of the authorities testifies to the impossibility, otherwise what other goal should be pursued by this tax "terror".
Hayastan Alliance, Economist Tadevos Avetisyan says, the inertia is still ongoing with positive positive factors. "It simply came to our notice then. But they know the best about the real condition. At the moment, they are still able to cover the current expenses, they know very well that the trend is already going to the negative, significant negative deepening.
We predicted it, but these authorities are populist. They attribute every positive, and for the negative ones they find culprits, including those who have been guilty of small and medium-sized businesses, before the poor, and so on.
Now the fact is as follows. Yes, the trend is not good, all international financial organizations, local and foreign experts predict that both global, world economy are deepening economic problems, including Armenia, because Armenia, because Armenia's 2022-24. The lion's share of high economic growth was due to the external factor, with a Russian-Ukrainian war.
Now that factor is weakening, and we enter the stage of additional economic difficulties, that is, not only that factor, and these high growths will not be a "escape" of capital, which will lead to additional difficulties. We will face the problems and their consequences on the ground day by day, "Avetisyan told" fact ".
He emphasizes that the authorities are trying to prepare for the issues a day before the problems. "When the populists are still failing, they try to get their political dividends again, hurting public interest. Now it's the same, "We will keep the government at all costs" dictated as the following as much as possible on its shoulders.
And they do it in a stage version. They set the beginning of the declaration process, they saw that the public was "unhappy" extended it. Now they are in the whole amount that the submission of a declaration will solve all the problems we face, and so on. In fact, it's a primitive lie.
Five percent of citizens have submitted a declaration, they have 95 percent failure. Next, the social programs of the Armenians of Artsakh stopped. Then people went out, complained, they saw that they could not "digest" for 2 months. They are hidden behind the lie that then "attack" their victims on the right moment and position. The predator is, the victim is the public, with its different strips, including small business, which, in fact, doubled the tax burden. In recent days, SME representatives came to discuss in recent days. They respond to their footsteps, we will analyze, let's see if it is possible, we will return to previous rates again.
This analyzing means one thing. Their propaganda teams are working, see if the complaint in the public is approaching a critical level, they will hinder. By the way, the same way, as they substantiated to add to 10% of the tax burden of 5%, "they will change their clothes" and they will be the exact opposite of what they say, will make 5% again. This is their way, "says our interlocutor. The government says that this money is directed to the construction of kindergartens, schools and roads. Budget funds are effective.
"We can say about the opposite. Foreign capital "escapes" from the country. According to last year's indicators, the inflow of foreign direct investment has been a negative, significant negative indicator. In short, the capital is more than our country. If they are so democratic, the tax system is good, the risks are manageable, they work effectively, why is the foreign capital "escapes" the country?
This year, there is no external factor, economic activity is significantly decreasing. The external factor is not, our tax revenues collected less than 230 billion drams from planned since last year, and this year we have a growing underwent. If everything they say is so good, why is it so bad on the ground?
Referring to the expenses, they do it purely from their narrow political goals and personal interests. They have become a power to asphalt and asphalt. I always bring that example. I often go through Nork to Nor Nork. That path is asphalting every year, then they are destroyed justifying, again asphalting.
To my question, why they were demolished and said that they were conducting infrastructure, that is, a year ago they did not know that they need infrastructure here. The same goes for the waterfall to Garni, the tourist road. They asphalted, destroyed, demolished, and conducted infrastructure again. If you ran the road for 20 years, it is understandable, because everything is being developed for the infrastructure a few months later, it means that you are either a apical or intentional. The next important question.
We see, no, how many of those who oppose the "duty" have increased their official cars, the number of their assistants and "Nazir-Vesir", because the assistant that does not do anything is "Nazir-Visir" of the Royal Palace. Only if the king feels good. Or the increase in their accompanying columns, while going to the other point from one point, thousands of police officers accompany themselves, that is a great expense, the mayor is leaving for the USA to the United States, etc.
These are all problems with expenses, and no matter how much we do not know, it will happen after the change of government. As a rule, these expenses, as well as one person, are performed by the oligarchs of their circle, and why not their relatives from a narrow circle, "he said.
The citizen has the realization that the quality of his life is worse day by day. "Yes, it has. In one case, it becomes indifference, in one case the cause of emigration, and ultimately, it depresses people, making the future with all its uncertain consequences. After all, I say certainly, for this and other reasons, the change of government has no alternative days ago. This is unequivocal, and many citizens feel this every day on the ground, "Tadevos Avetisyan concludes.
