If you vote for the ruling coalition's senior partner, the Republican
Party of Armenia, it will become worse. This was stated Thursday
by the opposition bloc Armenian National Congress (ANC) leader and
Armenia's First President Levon Ter-Petrosyan, during his meeting in
Yeghegnadzor city, and within the framework of campaigning for the
upcoming parliamentary elections.
"Our [state] budget is [US$] 2.5 billion, and [$]5 billion is stolen
from you every year. If they had not stolen, the budget would have
been $7 billion," the First President said.
He noted that there is no difference between the regimes of incumbent
President Serzh Sargsyan and former President Robert Kocharyan,
and added the current authorities should not be accepted as true.
"If they are stealing [$]5 billion up to now, they will steal more
from now on," Levon Ter-Petrosyan said.
He added that around one million people had left Armenia during the
current authorities' tenure in the past 14 years, and asked the people
to vote solely for the ANC.
