April 18, 2013 | 13:35
YEREVAN. - The forthcoming Armenian capital city Yerevan Council
election is a unique chance to change the situation in the country,
and the opposition's triumph in this vote will resolve six matters.
Opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC) bloc National Assembly
(NA) Faction leader Levon Zurabyan said this during a press conference
on Thursday.
In his words, the first matter is that the opposition's victory will
substantially reduce the ruling regime's capacity to control the
political processes and, as a result, the positions of the regime
will grow weaker.
"[And] we [will] begin to live in a new country," Zurabyan added.
According to the MP, the second matter is that the opposition's
triumph in the Yerevan election will enable to return the power to
the people all through the country, and to be rid of the present-day
kleptocratic regime.
As per the ANC NA Faction leader, the third point is the need to
create a system of counterbalances within the system of governance.
"When the [Yerevan] Municipality passes into the hands of the
opposition, completely different mechanisms-which regulate the power
governance system-will begin to work, [and] the activities of the
Municipality will be regulated by the law," he said.
According to Levon Zurabyan, the fourth matter is that, if the
opposition wins the Yerevan Council voting, corruption will reduce
significantly because the authorities and the opposition will compete
with one another.
Fifth, the political battle will move to a domain of civilized
competition, since the authorities and the opposition will have to
speak with facts.
"[And] the sixth point [is that], the citizens will breathe much more
easily in the created system, [and] the businesses, the businessmen
will be in a more liberal, [and] conducive domain," Levon Zurabyan
concluded.
