Declaration of the Political Coalition
Three years ago the RPA, BA and OY political parties formed a political coalition which assumed responsibilities for Armenia's political, economic and social development.
The Political Coalition was formed when the country was going through difficult times. The formation of the Coalition, expression of will and resolve by its members and collective acceptance of responsibilities for the actions of the authorities has played a significant role in ensuring stability and normal life in the country. It has also become an important factor in successfully defying the external and internal challenges facing the Republic of Armenia, including the events in South Ossetia and preclusion of a serious social downturn conditioned by the severe global financial and economic crisis.
Political Coalition restates that it is important to withstand jointly all potential external threats, carry on with the structural changes in the country, provide them with new momentum and guarantee tangible results.
Political Coalition declares its resolve to make more courageous steps toward ensuring Armenia's post-crisis progressive development and improvement of well-being of our people, placing special emphasis on comprehensive fight against corruption and significant reduction of the shadow economy.
