The scheme was approved by the parliament at its last week  session. Tigran Davtian described it today as \u2018correct and justified  approach.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The scheme was opposed by Guillermo Tolosa, IMF resident representative, who said IMF is generally opposed to tax privileges.<\/p>\n<p>But according to Davtian, what Tolosa said was a text-book approach of  IMF. He added that the government has to revise its economic policy  following the global crisis and the main objective is to stimulate  economic recovery through a set of incentives.<\/p>\n<p>The minister, nonetheless, agreed that all economic entities should be  treated equally by the government, saying the Armenian economic  legislation was developing over the last 20 years based on the equality  principle. In his words, the basic principles are not changed, but the  government wants to stimulate export-oriented sectors by offering some  incentives. He specified that they are incentives and not privileges,  because the government not only offers tax breaks, but also helps  companies find new partners, conduct talks and attract new investments.
