The restoration of constitutional order in Armenia and the departure
of the illegitimate authorities are the main condition for the further
development of the country, the leader of the Justice faction, MP
Stepan Demirchyan, said during a press conference at the Azdak
[National Press Club].
He pointed out that there is a clear demand for a change of power in
society, because since 2003, i.e. since the "falsified" presidential
and parliamentary elections, the situation in the country has not
improved. On the contrary, the social abyss in society has become
deeper and wider, while corruption is flourishing and the authorities
are restricting themselves to declarative statements instead of
fighting it. Prices for essential goods are also rising.
The overwhelming majority of the Armenian population lives only on aid
provided by their relatives from abroad, which is not at all helped by
artificial fluctuations in the rate of the US dollars.
All this means that the need to change the authorities is clear to
everyone. The Justice faction and the People's Party support the
constitutional way of solving these tasks, and armed upheavals are
unacceptable to us, Demirchyan said.
