>According to official statistics, Gegharkunik is one of the poorest marzes in Armenia, every third person lives in poverty, the marz has the worst index in the number of extremely poor people. Almost 5 percent of the population is unable to spend even 1000 drams every day. Even if they find a job, the residents of the region receive the lowest salary in Armenia, on average about 100 thousand drams after taxes, while the national average exceeds 200 thousand drams.
Remember GDP growth does not equal individual economic growth
A war of attrition against Armenians began in the late 19th century, and has continued virtually without pause ever since.
This is yet more depressing news.
There should be more service related businesses in those regions. Like servers and stuff that can be maintained by the locals
I’ve been saying this since forever I wish Sevan had more investment. Usually I just hear that it’s too cold but come on.
