Monopolies basic cause of our problems today - Oskanian
20:32 - 14.04.13
Former Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian, who represents the Prosperous
Armenia party (PAP) in the Yerevan municipality elections, has cited
political monopolies as a basic reason behind the political problems
existing today.
At a meeting with voters in the administrative district of Shengavit,
the politician called for electing PAP, promising the party's best
efforts to improve the capital city. `If you really trust the
municipal power to us, I assure you that our party will guide itself
by three basic principles. We will be commited to this city, working
devotedly for its interests, not for our personal bias. And the
Yerevan election today is the first opportunity for us to do away with
the political monopoly,' he said, adding that Armenia's political
arena has seen no real counterbalance since 1991.
Oskanian, who is a top candidate on the PAP's proportional
representation list, promised to adopt comprehensive approaches in
case of being elected to ensure the proportional development of the
capital.
Naira Zohrabyan of the PAP faction in parliament later delivered a
speech, reiterating the party's slogan. `We will change everybody's
life together with you. Any political force saying it will resolve all
the problems in one day will demonstrate but adventurism, as the
situation in the country today requires painstaking work for finding a
way out,' she said, warning the crowd against believing the prejudiced
remarks that the ruling party's victory is predetermined.
Gurgen Arsenyan, another lawmaker of Prosperous Armenia, addressed
domestic problems. `They vote for us, and we say there will be 12 more
kindergartens. The next thing we can do is to address pensioners'
problems. Pensioners will be offered a free access to the public
transport,' he said, promising the city authorities' support to the
Yerevan residents in case of PAP's success in the upcoming polls.
