Yerevan (Yerkir) - ARF presidential candidate Vahan Hovhannesian
was campaigning in Vayots Dzor Region today. Addressing the crowds
in the village of Areni, Hovhannesian said that there are two issues
to deal with.
"The development of Armenia is faulty in two ways. We have found
ourselves in a paradoxical situation where the economic growth is not
contributing to poverty reduction but increases the gap between the
rich and the poor. The other issue is that the development can bee
seen only in the center of Yerevan. Only the construction and service
sectors are developing, having no impact on industries or agriculture,"
Hovhannesian said. He offered his vision how to develop the villages.
Hovhannesian also said that the current regime is not doing anything
to correct the situation, neither did the old regime. "Dashnaktsutyun
has always counted on people, it has fought for justice and freedom,
it was harassed and shut down but did not stop fighting," he said.
The old and the current regimes are extremes, he said. "Neither the
Armenian Pan-National Movement is ready to carry out reforms nor the
current regime.
The old regime is trying to get to power by any means, the current
regime wants to keep the power by election fraud."
"We are trying to carry out positive changes now by cooperating with
the authorities but our possibilities are limited. It is impossible
to make changes with 16 people that we have in parliament. I am
capable of making all the changes and this is why we are running for
president. I do not depend on anybody, I am not afraid of anyone,
I don't owe anything to anyone," he said.
We are the only way out in this situation and we will be fighting
against both poles, he said. We can now break all the barriers. My
party and I will return justice and freedom to you.
