YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 1, NOYAN TAPAN. Many of the candidates for presidency
avoid speaking about composition of the government to be formed in
case of their election not because they lack the respective staff,
but taking into account the current atmosphere of intolerance and fear
in the country, the spokeswoman for People's Party of Armenia Ruzan
Khachatrian stated at the February 1 discussion, adding that these
presidential candidates have concerns that by announcing the names
of members of the future cabinet, they may "endanger" these persons.
According to deputy of the former Supreme Council Aram Mailian, there
is no party today which has about 30 people to be appointed to most
important positions in case of its coming to power. In his words,
the parties cannot grow cadres. He said that power of the first
president Levon Ter-Petrosian ruined because of the wrong personnel
policy. The president Robert Kocharian, according to the former deputy,
has continued personnel policy-related mistakes.
The representative of the Liberal Progressive Party of Armenia, expert
Eduard Antinian expressed an opinion that the amended Constitution will
not allow any political force (besides, the Republican Party of Armenia
that forms the parliamentary majority) to become a real counterbalance
to the other power branches. In the words of E. Antinian, any president
not enjoying the sympathy of the National Assembly's majority will
be a formal head.
