Yerevan, 28 November: The leader of the National Democratic Union
[NDU], Vazgen Manukyan, today called on Armenia's opposition parties
"to close ranks and set up a civil front around the idea of building
a state of free citizens".
Vazgen Manukyan, who held the posts of Armenian prime minister and
defence minister in the early 1990s, said that individual political
forces will not be able to achieve desired changes, Mediamax reported.
Moreover, the governance system of the country needs radical reforms
today and "[Armenian President] Robert Kocharyan's departure from
power will not improve the situation", he believes.
The NDU leader is convinced that the people does not trust the
incumbent authorities which "are ready for new falsifications to
preserve their positions".
Vazgen Manukyan also spoke out in favour of adopting a new Armenian
constitution which he said will make it possible to form an independent
and transparent judiciary system.
