PanARMENIAN.Net - ARF Dashnaktsutyun's top parliamentary candidate
delivered an opening speech at Liberty Square-hosted rally.
"We're here to return power to people," Vahan Hovhannisyan said.
"We're not here to take it away or beg for it. We're here to give it
back to you," the candidate stressed.
Another ARFD candidate Armen Rustamyan in turn, stressed that a
presidential system of government became a misfortune to Armenian
people, with president's immediate surrounding as the only ones to
enjoy the privileges. The candidate urged to decentralize power,
adopting a parliamentary system of government in order to prevent
use of power for achieving personal goals.
A representative of Dashnaktsutyun Bureau Hrant Margaryan stressed
a poor economic situation in the country, social unfairness, mass
emigration, noting that current authorities proved unable to resolve
those issues.
Parliamentary elections, due in Armenia on May 6, feature 8 political
parties, Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), Prosperous Armenia, ARF
Dashnaktsutyun (ARFD), Orinats Yerkir, Heritage, Democratic Party of
Armenia (DPA), Communist Party of Armenia and United Armenian party,
as well as one election bloc represented by opposition Armenian
National Congress (ANC).
ARF Dashnaktsutyun's candidates list is topped by Vahan Hovhannisyan,
Armen Rustamyan and Artyusha Shakhbazyan.
