Secretary of the Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) Naira Zohrabyan is
amused to hear that the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (HHK)
condemns graft and corrupt practices.
"If today were April Fools' Day, I would think HHK is joking. If
it's self-criticism, I'm happy for them as it means that democratic
processes have begun within HHK," said the BHK official.
Speaking about her party's strategy in the municipal elections, Naira
Zohrabyan said their main objective is to solve the social problems
of Yerevan citizens.
Of course, our election platform also focuses on other impprtant
issues, including landscaping, asphalting and lighting but during
our outdoor meetings we realized that people live in such critical
conditions that everything else is less important," she said.
The BHK secretary believes that people want opposition forces to
address more global problems.
Asked whether the party would be able to solve social issues, once it
takes Mayor's Office, Naira Zohrabyan said, "Today, the executive and
legislative powers, as well as the municipal government are controlled
by one political force. If the opposition is able to take at least
the municipal government, we shall be able to break up the monopoly."
In reply to our next question why the party did not do it during the
presidential election, the BHK secretary said, "I still think that we
should have participated in the election. However, BHK Leader Gagik
Tsarukyan will tell, in due time, the reasons for his decision not
to contest the presidential election."
In conclusion, the BHK representative added that we would live in a
different Armenia if her party participated in the February ballot.
