Member of Parliament Victor Dallakyan, Ardarutiun, assures that the
Security Council of Armenia has not been operating since 1997 and it
is hard to tell where the problems of security of Armenia are solved,
in `casinos or saunas' .
Victor Dallakyan criticized the current policy on national security by
citations from the conception of national security of this
government. `Among internal threats the imperfection or failure of the
government system, corruption, public mistrust in the government are
mentioned. The government is to blame for these vices, and one of the
major threats for the Republic of Armenia is an illegitimate
government. This is a confession that there is no national security,'
says Victor Dallakyan.
He thinks that Armenia should have friendly and mutually beneficial
relations with its neighbors, and the three South Caucasian countries
musthave an integrated system of security. Two out of these three,
Georgia and Azerbaijan are craving for appearing in NATO, Armenia is
for a close and individual partnership with NATO. `95 percent of the
energy sector was given to another country. This is a problem related
with our security and independence,' says Victor Dallakyan. He says in
the recent 15 days the citizens of Armenia have lost 26 million
dollars as a result of dram-dollar exchange games. Economists have
calculated that in the same game `the government annually robs people
of 300 million dollars.' More figures: the minimum consumer basket is
28 thousand drams, whereas 530 thousand pensioners in Armenia get an
average retirement benefit of 10 thousand drams a month, and 170
thousand people receive an average monthly benefit of 7000 drams.
`80 percent of the population is poor, 40 percent is malnourished,60
percent do not see the doctor because they have no money, birth rate
has halved against 1991, 700 thousand young people are unemployed,
forests are destroyed ` under the auspices' of officials and generals,
migration rates aresoaring, and Armenia is facing a demographic
disaster. The income of the poorest class is 26 percent times less
than the income of the poor class, and the richest class possesses 95
percent of the country's wealth. There is a grave social polarization
in Armenia.' It is not clear yet how Victor Dallakyanwill contribute
to the struggle against these problems, but after stating thesefigures
he announced, `I am not going to work as a button at the National
Assembly.'
