Dwelling on Serzh Sargsyan's assessment and reprimand to the
government during the consultations with the ministers, secretary of
Heritage party Styopa Safaryan told Lragir.am that the assessment of
the president was right.
According to Styopa Safaryan, the system of kickbacks functioning in
Armenia has been crucial for a number of businessmen. He would like to
see concrete steps aimed at winning the trust of the population and
inspiring hope that it is meaningful to live in this country and that
they are protected.
Asked whether the current government has the necessary political will
to fight corruption and kickbacks, Styopa Safaryan said that the
president's speech was evidence of the existence of the political
will; at least the president has it. Hence, the government has nothing
else to do but to realize that will, said Safaryan. He noted at the
same time that he would believe that Serzh Sargsyan's speech was not a
political propaganda if he didn't understand that this country with
the current system is unable to go on.
`I would like to believe that the president realizes this fact because
it is evident that there are difficulties to fill the deficit of the
budget these months. Besides, perhaps they realize that in this
region, where Armenia is blockaded, our country has no other way that
to become a competitive state', said Safaryan.
Dwelling on Serzh Sargsyan's appeal to take the `big fish', Styopa
Safaryan noted that it is the society to render the `big fish'
monsters. In reality, they are very vulnerable. `I don't call on
taking revenge but they just need to understand that they should play
within certain rules and passing them would be punished', says
Heritage secretary.
