The speech of the Republican party nominee Serzh Sargsyan at
the extraordinary congress of the party has left a controversial
impression, Heritage party's deputy leader Armen Martirosyan told
the reporters today.
"There were points acceptable for me relating to the security issues,
but the assessments given to the reality are not acceptable," he said.
Martirosyan said the president's claims about privileges to small
and medium-sized business are not true. "Unfortunately, it is not so,
I personally know three people who were bankrupt," he said, bringing
clear examples.
As to the fighting against corruption, it is being held in a wrong
direction. "It is systematic and agreed with the pseudo-centralization
of the power. Without systematic reforms even if average officials
are being arrested, it does not mean that it is a solution," he said,
stressing the need of institutional reforms and political will.
As to the fight against permissiveness, Martirosyan said, "The
permissiveness has come from high ranking officials and their relatives
and till continue."
He said the mentioned reforms in reality do not exist. "According to
one of the publications, 160,000 people have left the country during
the past three years. It is clear, no one leaves a convenient country,"
he said.
