And yet we do not share his vision to demolish the system of public administration fundamentally and we do not consider the country a bandit state. Armenia is a sovereign and independent country. At least we have built a country the flag of which waves in many capitals of the world.” The OYP is ready to cooperate with all healthy forces which are ready to carry out reforms in the country.
