“People want to appear in parliament at all costs”
Country’s economy will not develop, if there is war situation in the country, says Congress-HZhK (People’s Party of Armenia) alliance candidate Zoya Tadevosyan. That’s the reason the alliance has chosen ‘peace’ as a slogan, “Peace is the chance, which will let the country develop. When the economy is in hard situation, during the recent 10 years, USD 10 billion has flown out of the country, 500 thousand people have migrated, everything cannot be good,” noted Mrs. Tadevosyan, adding that the alliance will aim at stopping the war situation, “Only after achieving peace, we will reach a state, when an educated, intelligent person will be a value, and after that the people, who have plundered the country since 1991, will be held accountable, and their property must be seized and returned to the state.” Susanna Muradyan, representative of “ORO” alliance notes that Seyran Ohanyan, Vartan Oskanian and Raffi Hovannisian, uniting and making an alliance, aim at taking the country out of shameful economic and political crisis, “We try not to criticize any opposition party or alliance. The only target is the Republican Party of Armenia (HHK), as a result of its policy annually 50 000 people have left the country, and USD 10 billion have been withdrawn from the country. We say in advance that we rule out any cooperation and alliance with the HHK, we don’t want to be engaged in any games, we want to carry out our realistic programs, which are anthropocentric,” she said. Armenian Renaissance Party (HVK) candidate Marianna Frunjyan thinks that civilized elite should be formed in the parliament. While expressing this opinion, representative of ORO alliance reacted, “Won’t they put eyes out anymore ( she meant the expression of HVK representative Heghine Bisharyan-edt.) Marianna Frunjyan explained that using folk sayings is normal, “People show aggression with their actions, not words; if you are careful with her gestures, you can see that it wasn’t aggressive and it wasn’t a threat.” The participants of the press conference started debating more passionately, when the issue came to the army, “How can the army strengthen? By plundering?” said Congrerss-HZhK alliance representative Zoya Tadevosyan addressing the representative of the ORO, “Seyran Ohanyan said that he is ready to stand before a lawful court, as he is sure that he is not guilty, but for that first of all fair court must be established,” noted Susanna Muradyan and posed a question, “Why do you throw mud at ORO alliance. Initially we called on all the political forces to jointly struggle against the monster; our main target is the HHK, with which we will never cooperate or form an alliance.” In reply to the question of “A1+”, whether this time the opposition representatives hope that the elections will proceed in a fair way, Zoya Tadevosyan answered, “For fighting against vote rigging and having fair elections, we should have a joint headquarters and concentrate forces in the polling stations.” Political expert Levon Shirinyan said that if the country isn’t a normal organism with its party-political system, it is impermissible to shift to a parliamentary model, “Recent stabbings and brawls can prove it; people want to appear in the parliament at all costs.”
