YEREVAN, August 16. /ARKA/. Armenia has no political environment
and its formation is the priority task of all political forces of
the country, Chairman of the Self-Determination Union (SDU) Paruir
Hayrikyan stated at a roundtable of Armenia's political parties of
similar ideologies.
According to him, many of these parties currently have fears that
Armenia's political environment is seriously criminalized.
"Criminal manifestations in all structures of power are obvious in
Armenia. They are expressed not only in bribery, but also in violation
of citizens' rights," he said.
Hayrikyan believes that during elections parties must not give priority
to their wish to occupy seats in Parliament.
"It is necessary that Armenia's political forces ensure a majority of
`popular' seats in Parliament to counterbalance the criminal ones,"
Hayrikyan said, pointing out that they will be able to represent the
people's will and interests.
In his turn, the member of the People's Party of Armenia Stepan
Zakaryan pointed out that simulation of political environments has
been taking place in Armenia over the last few years.
"All the parties of similar ideologies must exert every effort to
overcome this situation and, through the public's active support,
ensure free and fair parliamentary elections," he said.
Attending the SDU-organized roundtable were representatives of the
People's Party of Armenia, Democratic Party of Armenia, National
Unity Party, Law-Governed Country Party, Party of Democratic Way as
well as the Social and Democratic Party "Hnchakian".
Parliamentary elections are to be held in Armenia in 2007.
