THERE ARE NO OLIGARCHS IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

Politics

“The parliamentary majority should be responsible for the government programme, regardless of the fact which party the president represents,” Republican Eduard Sharmazanov told reporters June 27.

Today Eduard Sharmazanov presented the government programme endorsed by the National Assembly June 26 at the “Friday” Club.

Yesterday the oppositional factions voted down the programme. While commenting on their step, Eduard Sharmazanov said, “I understand that political forces have a constructive attitude towards the programme.”

The Republican deputy thinks that the ARF Dashnaktsutyun is rather a government than an oppositional party, though the latter will put forward its candidate at the presidential elections.

The Republican Party of Armenia has always brought arguments why people should vote for the Republicans, he said. According to him, the party possesses the potential to put the government programme into force.

According to Sharmazanov, there aren't oligarchs in the Republican Party.

“Corruption is vice. The upper and lower echelons of the power should combat against corruption with joint efforts,” he said.

While speaking of Gyumri Mayor Vardan Ghukasyan's possible resignation, Eduard Sharmazanov said, “I can say nothing in this view. I wish him success.”
