YEREVAN. - During the past decade we distorted many things in Yerevan,
Armenian President and chairman of the ruling Republican Party (RPA)
Serzh Sargsyan announced during a meeting with voters in Yerevan's
Erebuni district on Tuesday.
According to the president, while much attention was paid to
economic problems, Yerevan city environmental and identity issues
were neglected.
"This is a sad reality. Today we say that economic priorities are
more important than the issue of preserving Yerevan's identity. I
promise you here and now that this will change from now on," Sargsyan
mentioned, adding that they will prohibit by law any construction
not corresponding to Yerevan's identity.
Talking about economic issues the president pointed out that the
state managed to survive the crisis.
"We were able to protect the country form shocks that happened in
many European countries. But we were not able to register an economic
growth, which would be visible for the majority of population. Armenia
can and will have a modern industry," the president stressed.
The Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) is a ruling conservative party
in Armenia founded on 2 April, 1990, and registered on 14 May, 1991,
being the first officially registered socio-political organization
in the independent Republic of Armenia.
The founder of the party was Ashot Navasardyan. After his death the
party was headed by former Armenian prime minister, very influential
political figure, Vazgen Sargsyan, who was killed in 1999 terrorist
attack in the parliament. He was replaced by another Armenian Premier
Andranik Margaryan. After Margaryan's death, the incumbent Armenian
President Serzh Sargsyan took the office of the chairman of RPA board.
Since 2003, the Republican Party is a core member of the ruling
coalition along with the Prosperous Armenia and Orinats Yerkir
parties. RPA has majority of seats in the Armenian parliament since
