ARMENIA NEEDS REVOLUTION IN ALL SPHERES - POLITICIAN
13:43 ~U 16.04.13
The spokesperson of the Prosperous Armenia party (PAP) says he keeps
sticking to an earlier belief that Armenia needs reforms in all the
spheres of public life.
"I said exactly eight years ago that it is necessary to conduct a
revolution of grain, sowing, manufacturing, science and education,
and my belief hasn't changed in that respect," Tigran Urikhanyan told
reporters on Tuesday.
He made the remark when asked to comment on first President Levon
Ter-Petrosyan's recent call for a bourgeois-democratic revolution in
the country.
But he said he doesn't think the statement was a message to the PAP
which, as certain circles claim, provides financial assistance to
Ter-Petrosyan's Armenian National Congress (ANC).
"Our collaboration and relationship with the ANC and other interested
[political] parties and forces are and can be based upon only common
interests which are clearly visible and tangible to voters, the Yerevan
residents in this case," he said, adding that their collaboration
with any political force is aimed at ensuring honest and high quality
voting in the upcoming Yerevan City Council election.
Addressing Ter-Petrosyan's speech at the ANC's recent congress,
Urikhanyan said the first president seemed more to be directing
messages to his party members and electorate. "So in that respect, I
don't consider myself competent to give any answer. We need first of
all to ask whether he had any message to address to the PAP. If yes,
we will try to answer," he added.
