Dignity can neither be bought nor sold, and the parliament formed
due to election bribes, as well as the government formed by this
parliament, has nothing in common with dignity, Armen Martirosyan,
a Heritage party member, told journalists on Thursday.
He is highly critical of the government program for 2012-2017.
To substantiate his statement, Martirosyan quoted "one beautiful
phrase" from the government program: "the government program is
based on the idea that it is the government's duty to create the
best conditions for a life of dignity and creative activities for
its citizens."
The government attaches importance to the development of Armenia's
mining industry and, on the other hand, of tourism. "But it is
impossible to develop the mining industry and tourism at the same
time. Tourists want to spend their holidays in a clean environment,
they do not come to breathe in the air full of heavy metals,"
Martirosyan said.
He believes that this government is unable to implement institutional
reforms. Also, the government must promise to create hundreds of
thousands of jobs, not only 100,000, because they must consider
emigration.
Road construction is at the bottom of the "agricultural section" of
the government program. However, poor roads are one of the factors
conducive to emigration from Armenia's rural areas.
The ruling authorities' "cynicism" is in that the ruling Republican
Party of Armenia (RPA) is always "well aware" of any problems raised
by the opposition.
Martirosyan will be happy if his forecasts about the government program
prove false. However, the past five years have shown he has been right.
