Oskanyan, former Foreign Minister, member of the Prosperous Armenia
Party, has spoken out against the current policy. He noted the role of
parliamentary polls on May 6 and analyzed the situation in the country.
The former minister pointed out the poor socio-economic situation
and has not improved in the last 4 years. The GDP dropped, compared
with 2008, poverty increased by half a million people, foreign debt
will exceed $4 billion by the end of the year, increase of income is
below the inflation rate, Armenia Today reports.
Oskanyan pointed out 5 reasons for such problems. Firstly, the
government has no forecasting skills. Secondly, there is no republican
or regional program. The Armenia-Iran Railway, the new nuclear power
plant, the North-South Highway, the All-Armenian Bank, the Technical
Park in Gyumri, have not been realized. Thirdly, management is
inefficient. Fourthly, the government did not realize reforms of the
second and third generations. Fifthly, economic solutions were wrong.
High inflation levels have not been prevented in the last 4 years.
