  • According To Armen Martirosian, Estimation On Armenia In U.S. State

    ACCORDING TO ARMEN MARTIROSIAN, ESTIMATION ON ARMENIA IN U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT REPORT IS "EVEN MILD"

    The estimation on Armenia in the U.S. State Department report
    publicized on June 10 "is even mild, as indeed we see much better
    what goes on." Armen Martirosian, the head of the NA Zharangutiun
    (Heritage) faction, said at the June 12 press briefing at the National
    Assembly. It should be mentioned that the report, in particular,
    mentioned that "the 2008 presidential elections held with huge
    shortcomings led to a political crisis, which is not overcome up
    to now."

    As to the decision of the Millennium Challenge Corporation Board
    of Directors to stop funding the road construction subprogram in
    Armenia to the amount of 68m USD, according to the deputy, "it is our
    authorities' depriving us of additional funds donated to us without
    charge for interest in conditions of crisis, as a result of their
    criminal negligence or, we can even say, criminal activity."

    "They considering their personal interest to be above everything
    constantly deliver not only moral, but also financial blows to a
    citizen of Armenia, which, naturally, would have an immediate impact
    especially on our rural population's everyday life," A. Martirosian
    said. In his words, if the authorities indeed had that pretension as
    they declare and speak about economic development programs of regions
    and distant populated areas, "they would hold not rigged but normal
    elections, would have not political prisoners, but normal justice
    thanks to their judicial system, and as a result of it we at least
    would have normal roads and irrigation networks."
