In the run-up to the presidential elections in Armenia, ARF
Dashnaktsutyun has presented its election platform consisting of
7 items.
According to the ARFD platform, the priority goal is to create an
electoral system capable to ensure free expression of the people's
will and formation of a new power on the basis of this system. The
ARFD also insists on the republic's transition to the 100% proportional
electoral system.
The second step is to hold constitutional reforms before 2015 for
the republic to switch to the parliamentary regime.
The party also insists on providing the opposition with real levers of
resistance to the power branches and providing the opposition forces
with quota in the Audit Chamber. The ARFD thinks it is necessary
to create mechanisms to separate business from the political power
and to ensure the judicial system's independence. The party suggests
conducting large-scale economic reforms to create new workplaces. The
platform also insists on enhancing the state's regulatory role in
creation of equal conditions for all citizens of the country and
equal distribution of freedoms.
As for the foreign policy, the ARFD believes that the foreign
political course should ensure the independence and security of
Armenian statehood.
There are also points concerning the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The
ARFD insist that Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh form a military-political
alliance. The party believes that the only basis for a fair settlement
of the problem is the results of the nationwide referendum conducted
in Nagorno-Karabakh in 1991 and insists that Nagorno-Karabakh be
involved in the peace talks.
As regards Armenian-Turkish relations, the ARFD insists on Armenia's
withdrawing its signatures from the Armenian-Turkish protocols. The
party believes that relations with Turkey can and must be improved
with no threat to Armenia's interests and historical justice.
The ARFD's platform was submitted to all political forces except the
ruling Republican Party.
The leader of Heritage party Raffi Hovhannisian has already expressed
his commitment to support the initiative.
According to the secretary of the parliamentary group of the Armenian
National Congress (ANC) Aram Manukyan, the ANC also supports the
platform. "As soon as we formulate our key challenges, it will be
much easier for us to decide who will be our joint candidate for
presidency," Manukyan said.
