The ruling regime has no way out from the created hard economic
situation in Armenia, the head of the opposition Armenian National
Congress parliamentary faction, Levon Zurabyan, told Arminfo
correspondent.
He thinks that all the initiatives of the government failed. It could
not provide 7% economic growth which President Serzh Sargsyan demanded
at the beginning of the current year either. "Prime minister could not
give a clear answer to any of the problems risen by the opposition. I
told Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan in the parliament that his
government had committed a crime. For the last two years the
government gathered about $300 million debt for delivery of the
Russian gas, but did not report about that either the community or the
parliament. In 2011 the debt was $47 mln, in 2012 - $118 mln and in
2013 - it became $130 mln. It was gamble made by the government,
members of which are criminal participants in the state crime", -
Zurabyan said.
He also added that instead of giving explanation to all their actions,
members of the government with a help of the parliamentary majority
torpedoed all the initiatives of the parliamentary opposition.
In this context, Zurabyan emphasized that they will go on fighting at
the streets. "I mean rallies and marches the goal of which is
resignation of the incumbent power", - Zurabyan said.
