To demand the government’s resignation
The government's line of conduct will lead to negative risks to a certain extent," ARF deputy Artsvik Minasyan told "A1+" in regard to the government's policies in different spheres.
For instance, the ARF has currently prepared an interpellation comprised of 11 points regarding the gas price and issues facing gas supply in general and will decide its line of conduct depending on the response.
One of the points in the interpellation regards the logic for calculating the increase of pensions and subsidies by 2,600 and 3,500 drams. Was the chain growth of prices for other products calculated?
Another question refers to whether the shady entrance of gas is blocked or not. The ARF also expects to get information about the meter station built in Koghb village worth 1.5 million euros that had to guarantee the regulation of shady gas entrance to Armenia.
In an interview with "A1+", Artsvik Minasyan took note that there are gas stations that sell shady gas; in other words, they are not the ones paying for the gas, but the people.
"Can the government guarantee that there are no illegal gas stations in Armenia?" the ARF asks. After receiving the responses to this and other questions, the ARF can even demand the government's resignation.
"The government has not only led the anti-crisis plan to failure and sidetracked from the socio-economic primacies, but shows that it has nothing to do with concrete actions for the country, society and the created situation.
Does the ARF plan to bring back Robert Kocharyan to active politics and see him as prime minister by criticizing the current government and the prime minister? In response, Mr. Minasyan said: "Of course, we have been part of the coalition for the past 10 years and have pointed out the good and bad things. But we don't have the desire to go back and want to move forward and see a national, political, state figure that can get the country out of the current situation."
As for those spreading rumors, Artsvik Minasyan said:
"We are not fighting for or against a particular person. We are fighting for RA citizens and the Armenian people. There is an army of oppositionists that don't tolerate dissidence in the political field by others and are ready to attack anybody who tries to appear at that level." Artsvik Minasyan referred to the ANC and said: "The sector that doesn't approve of the government's line of conduct must not be offended or try to see shady activities in the line of conduct of the opposition, but at least be aware that they are simply helping the powers for whom Armenia is simply a place for doing business."
