The leader of the Union for National Self-Determination party, one of
the fighter for independence of Armenia, Paruyr Hayrikyan, said at
today's press-conference that Armenian authorities do not take enough
efforts to fulfill the key points of the Independence Declaration.
He said that adoption of the Independence Declaration by the Supreme
Soviet of Armenia opened the way to the process of the statehood
formation, but the leaders of the state, in particular, Levon
Ter-Petrosyan and his comrades-in-arms were not ready to that and
further developments resulted in the course displacement, chosen
first. "According to the Declaration, the new and independent Armenia
was proving its adherence to the democratic traditions of the First
Republic of 1918, in particular, formation of the parliament through
the proportional electoral system , as well as adoption of the
Constitution through the Constitutional Meeting. None of them were
observed", - Hayrikyan said.
He also added that the same vicious system was preserved up to now,
and despite point 3 of the Independence Declaration, the people of
Armenia do not own statehood. "We still do not have a strict
development strategy of Armenia as an independent state. And we do not
fully estimate the idea of independence", - Hayrikyan thinks.
