Armenia
Yerevan, 16 April: The secretary of the parliamentary faction of the
[Armenian Revolutionary Federation -] Dashnaktsutyun party, Artashes
Shahbazyan, has said that the new president and prime minister of
Armenia have taken the promised path and are realizing serious staff
changes.
Speaking at a news conference in Yerevan today, Artashes Shahbazyan
stated that a new, interesting and promising start has been initiated,
which gives people ground to think that the authorities have started
reckoning with the public discontent.
According to him, "society did not applaud the outgoing leadership".
"Today's Armenia is radically different from the one which existed
before the presidential elections," the secretary of the parliamentary
faction said. One can no longer shut one's eyes to the fact that
there are economic, foreign policy and internal policy problems in
the country, which cause the discontent of the population, he said.
According to Shahbazyan, it is obvious that ex-President Levon
Ter-Petrosyan will continue playing the role of an opposition leader
in our political life, and it is important that his struggle for
power does not destroy the basics of our statehood but lead to its
consolidation.
