Levon Ter-Petrosyan, Chairman of the opposition bloc Armenian National
Congress (ANC), made a speech at the ANC rally in Yerevan on Friday.
He spoke of the ANC election program, which, he said, has been approved
by all the political forces forming the ANC. He noted that the ANC
is the only political force in Armenia that does not need any special
election program. During its 4-year-long activities the ANC has shown
itself a political factor that can prove a real counterbalance to
the ruling regime.
Ter-Petrosyan stressed that the ANC has carried out tremendous work
to elaborate alternative programs of political and social reforms. The
ANC strategy envisages the following steps:
- 100 steps. A socio-economic policy reform program - Basic provisions
of the healthcare policy - A pension reforms program - A long-term
comprehensive education development program - A cultural manifesto -
An election process reform platform - A national environmental safety
concept - A long-term higher education and scientific development
program - A judicial reform concept - An industrial development
program - Urgent agricultural development measures
According to Ter-Petrosyan, the ANC will implement all the
aforementioned reforms should it come to power and create real
conditions for establishment of real democracy in Armenia.
"Given the fact that Serzh Sargsyan seized presidential power in
Armenia through gross violations of the Election Code, election
rigging and murdering peaceful demonstrators, we must immediately
raise the issue of his resignation and prosecution."
The ANC leader stressed the need for forming impartial parliamentary
commissions with broad powers to prepare legally binding report on
the crimes on October 27, 1999, and March 1, 2008. Ter-Petrosyan
also calls for imposing severe punishment on the government officials
violating the right to freedom of assembly.
"Not a single vote for the criminal regime!"
