131 DEPUTIES IN ARMENIA - A LUXURY
The present level of Armenian-Russian relations proves that Armenia is
just a small change which may be put on the victim table of
Russian-Turkish or any other relations, United National
Self-Determination Party leader Paruir Hairikyan told 25th session of
the party. In his words, only democratic Russia can be a strategic
partner of Armenia.
Speaking about constitutional amendments adopted in November, last
year, Hairikyan praised that double citizenship is stipulated by the
constitution. He considered as achievements the formation of the
Armenian parliament and the institute of Human Rights. However, after
the referendum the authorities shifted to parliamentary form of
administration, he said. `We saw its tragic results in 1920 and we
would not like the same to be repeated.'. Hairikyan thinks that 131
deputies for a country with a little more than 3 mln population is a
luxury.
Speaking about Nagorno-Karabakh conflict regulation, Hairikyan called
the Armenian leadership to radically change its attitude to the issue
of NKR self-determination. According to him, Armenia should withdraw
from the negotiations and be only a guarantor for the safety of
NKR. /Panorama.am/
