Research Industry
We can find no evidence of a MR Association in Armenia. If we're wrong, please get in touch!According to the CIA World Factbook: Armenia exported $USD 714m of produce in 2009 - a mix of pig iron, unwrought copper, nonferrous metals, diamonds, mineral products, foodstuffs and energy. Their main export partners were Russia, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Georgia, Bulgaria and the USA. Imports in the same year cost $USD 2.72bn, consisting of gas, petroleum, tobacco products, foodstuffs and diamonds, mostly from Russia, China, Ukraine, Turkey, Germany, the USA and Iran.
Since independence, Armenia's history has been marred by the outbreak of armed conflict between Karabakh Armenians and Azerbaijan, which effectively crippled Armenia's economy. In recent years, Armenia still faces many hardships - but is improving and has made the switch to a full market economy.
