After the meeting at the Union of Relatives of Killed Azatamartiks NKR
president Arkady Ghukassian made an important statement during the
press conference. The president particularly mentioned that soon
changes will be made in the NKR government staff and structure. `I
think that certain officialshave estranged themselves from the people
and are not respected by them. Therebyeveryone should make a right
conclusion for themselves. Generally, I think, the people and
authorities are the same reality; we are one whole and we will not
allow to oppose people to the authorities. It is another thing if the
authoritiesare competent, professional and humane towards the
people. We must keep in mind all the time that the population has
enough problems and whatever we do will not be considered enough.
Changes will be made in the government; I think we must determine our
approaches in strategic and tactical matters. Certainly,we have done a
lot, we have moved the economy ahead and solved serious social and
economic questions. In the Soviet period of the history of Karabakh
construction of schools, roads and water pipelines in this scope has
never been carried out. Expectations are much greater. I repeat there
will be changes, no one has the right to oppose people to the
authorities - it is a crime.â=80=9D Arkady Ghukassian also mentioned
that the necessity of the decision about the changes was dictated by
the results of the audit inspections. Similar inspections were held
both in the capital and the regions. `We studied the situation in
Stepanakert and the regions and, I think, there is need for
changes. Changes are always necessary, there are already signs of
stagnation which is dangerous for our future,' said the NKR president.
