MP Vahan Hovhannisyan, ARF Dashnaktsutyun, harshly criticized the
government yesterday. According to him, the real authorities of Armenia
are not the government but the provincial clans and business groups
which can spoil any even the best initiative of the government.
He wonders who is responsible for the current social and economic
situation of the country. "I admit with sorrow that the cabinet where
there are a lot of intellectuals and a lot of friends of mine is not
a government to account for progress or regression, the social and
economic situation. Unfortunately, the government has always been
a curtain for other forces - provincial and economic clans. The
representatives of these clans are present now in this hall. So,
let's not demand from the government what it is unable to do,"
said Hovhannisyan.
According to him, the situation may change only in case of sincerity,
which is absent. "When I hear intensions of my colleagues in government
to boost salaries 2.5 times and support the economy, my socialist soul
enjoys it, but when we dwelt on the same during the election campaign,
our Republican colleagues were arguing that it is impossible," said
Vahan Hovhannisyan.
