“In the first days of the nation-wide protests, some of depositors withdrew their deposits from the banks, which is typical for the current situation, since money likes peace, but now we see a return tendency,” Osipyan said during discussions organized by the Club of Economic Journalists.

He said, however, that the outflow of deposits was much less than expected, but refrained to specify.
