Which was the most significant event in 2010?
Russian President's visit to Armenia was the most significant event in 2010, according to Chairman of National Unity Party (AMK) Artashes Geghamyan.
"The visit was important in the sense that Armenia and Russia signed several agreements, including the agreement on the extension of Russian military base deployment in Gyumri. The agreement is a mighty tool for Armenia as it ensures the country's safety from external risks," AMK Chairman Artashes Geghamyan told A1+.
Among the negative events Mr. Geghamyan pointed out economic crisis which pauperized 245 000 Armenians.
"According to the National Statistical Service, there are about 1 100 000 poor people in Armenia, which makes 34,1 % of the population," he said.
Chairperson of Social Democrat Hunchakian Party (SDHK) Lyudmila Sargsyan considers that the most significant event of the year was the resignation of Yerevan Mayor.
"The authorities have decided to create an image of good leaders at the cost of heavy sacrifices. Serzh Sargsyan imitates that he is ready to make reforms in the country but each dismissal and resignation further weakens the ruling pyramid."
Lyudmila Sargsyan hailed the activity of Pan-Armenian Movement, its struggle and increasing reputation.
