YEREVAN. - Speech of the President of Armenia at the 66th UN General
Assembly session was good but it was a mere speech, the leader of
ARFD parliamentary faction Vahan Hovhannisyan told a press conference
on Thursday.
"Two immediate needs stem out of this speech. First - Armenian
authorities must have a substantial backing within the country in
order to pursue such a strong national policy. This can be achieved by
means of major reforms and rejection of monopolistic economic system.
Obviously living standards continue to deteriorate, irrespective
of the published official figures. Do we believe that the
authorities can build an honest and fair country? No, we no longer
believe!" Hovhannisyan emphasized.
The MP argued that the second need is concurrency of foreign policy
with the provisions pointed out in Presidents' speech. According
to him, Sargsyan should have withdrawn the signature from the
Armenian-Turkish protocols.
"Do we believe this can be done? No, because we do nothing but watch
what is going on in Turkey. In Armenia the situation is paralyzed,
there is no movement," said Hovhannisyan.
