Naira Zohrabyan, Secretary of the Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP)
parliamentary group, made a statement on the PAP's approaches to the
forthcoming presidential election in Armenia.
She stressed the necessity for a switch-over to the parliamentary
system and, in this context, to the proportional representation
system. The PAP starts consultations with other political forces.
With respect to forthcoming presidential election in Armenia, the PAP
Political Council is holding discussions. The PAP Political Council
gives priority to the issues on the agenda. One of the most important
issues is what will be offered to Armenia's society.
Public is obviously demanding that the country be led out of the
current grave situation as soon as possible, says the statement.
An analysis of Armenia's 20-year-long independence, the present
political situation and development prospects makes the PAP conclude
that switching over to a parliamentary system is one of the ways of
resolving the country's problems, putting an end to political monopoly
and implementing reforms.
This would enhance political parties' role and create real conditions
for putting an end to disgraceful phenomena.
The PAP attaches importance to a switch-over to the proportional
representation system. A switch-over to the parliamentary system
implies that the presidential to be elected next year will work for
four years, until the 2017 parliamentary elections. He is expected
to make necessary amendments to Armenia's Constitution in cooperation
with other political forces and lay the basis for a new system.
The PAP is well aware that other political forces are proposing this
idea as well. The party believes that this approach might become a
solid ideological basis for cooperation between different political
forces.
In this context, the PAP plans to start consultations with political
forces to see the opportunities for uniting round the idea, says
the statement.
