PanARMENIAN.Net - Representative of Prosperous Armenia party, former
foreign minister of Armenia Vartan Oskanian had an election meeting
in Yerevan's central Kentron district on April 26.
All political parties are reporting during elections on their
activities, with regard to what they did and what they failed to do,
Oskanian said. Meanwhile, "Armenia's ruling party not only gives no
account for its failures, but lacks tolerance towards all those who
try to assess it properly," he stated.
Touching upon the economic situation in the country, politician
mentioned the drastic drop in living standards since 2009, with
additional 500000 poor emerging in Armenia, and a threefold rise in
the country's external debt which became a heavy burden on the state
budget curbing expansion opportunities for the future governments.
"Your constitutional rights were violated. No large-scale program
the authorities pledged to implement was realized or even launched:
a new nuclear power station, Iran-Armenia railway, Iran-Armenia
oil pipeline, North-South highway, All-Armenian Bank, technopark in
Gyumri, Dilijan becoming a financial center - to mention just a few,"
ex-minister declared.
According to him, Prosperous Armenia aims to solve two major problems
during the upcoming parliamentary elections.
First, change the political situation in the parliament by lifting
the one-party monopoly, and second, achieve political counterbalances.
