'PEOPLE ARE WELL AWARE OF OUR POLITICAL FIGURES', ARTUR BAGHDASARIAN SAYS
Artur Baghdasarian, chairman of RA National Assembly, paid a working visit
to Vanadzor, on August 20. He met with the residents of the city at the
Vanadzor State Theater. They came to meet him and share their problems with
him. The Vanadzor people were concerned about such issues as the payment of
pensions, the salary raises, the prices for healthcare services, the
necessity to open school for aesthetic education for the children and many
other issues. Naturally, they were mostly concerned about launching
"Prometey" plant. Artur Baghdasarian also emphasized the importance of fully
launching this chemical plant, as in that case, that would be possible and
necessary to open a series of other relative plants. But Mr. Baghdasarian
said that the state isn't capable of sponsoring its activities, at present.
The residents of the city were also concerned about issues of local and
personal character. They inquired from Mr. Baghdasarian about the order of
electing the mayor of Yerevan, as well. They expressed the idea that the
elections should be direct. Mr. Baghdasarian assured that the relevant
constitutional amendments do not envisage indirect elections only, but in
this case, the increase of the board's members secures fair elections.
Vanadzor residents also inquired why the representatives of the opposition
hold aggressive speeches, while the coalition members seem to be refrain
from them. Artur Baghdasarian emphasized that the society has already
recognized the aggressive speakers and all the rest, adding that they are
well aware of the political figures of our country. Mr. Baghdasarian advised
to vote for the people who are really concerned about the bright future of
our country.
