YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 14, NOYAN TAPAN. A list of questions has been
developed within the frameworks of "The stable development of the young
and the 2008 presidential elections in Armenia" program, which is being
implemented by the "For stable human development" association. All the
nine candidates running for the post of the RA President have answered
this list of questions. According to the organizers, the goal of the
program is to contribute to the free, fair and realized choice of
the young. Meetings, workshops have been held within the frameworks
of the program and they have been attended by about 500 young people.
As Karine Danielian, the Chairwoman of the association, mentioned
at the press conference held on February 14, the list of questions
contains almost all the spheres and touches upon the problems
concerning the stable development in Armenia. According to her,
all the candidates treated the list of questions seriously, mainly
substantiating their answers. In the observation of Karine Danielian,
there is an obvious difference between the answers of the candidates of
the political forces of the opposition and the authorities. According
to him, the answers of Serge Sargsian are mainly optimistic, and
those of the others critical.
All the candidates are of the same opinion that steps contributing to
the stable development in Armenia should be taken. At the same time,
Karine Danielian mentioned that irrespective of the fact that Armenia
officially joined the UN Stable Development World Movement in 1992,
it has taken no step in that direction so far.
It was mentioned that in response to the question on globalization,
eight of the candidates answered "integration but not immitation
and assimilation."
Levon Ter-Petrosian considered the variant, according to which it
is necessary to integrate into the international processes to the
maximum extent, accept the universal/European values and realize that
the national mode of thinking and ideaology are manifestations of
backwardness, as addmissible. In response to the question of whether
they are believers, all the candidates gave a positive answer.
