OPPOSITION PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE VISITING ARMAVIR
19:16 ~U 05.02.13
Armenia's ex-premier, Chairman of the Freedom party and presidential
candidate Hrant Bagratyan is visiting Armavir.
At his meeting with local residents he summed up his election program.
Among his priority tasks are an end to the oligarchic system,
monopolies and social polarization.
"For it to be done there must not be Serzh Sargsyan and Tigran
Sargsyan," Mr Bagratyan said.
He promises to open two offices in each village, with the villagers
as shareholders.
The locals raised the problems of compensation of deposits and
emigration.
As regards the former, Mr Bagratyan said it requires billions of
dollars. "I will resolve the problem by means of bond issues, and
heirs will receive the money."
As regards emigration, Mr Bagratyan promises that "the first day of
my presidency customs problems will be resolved, and I will create
such economic conditions that there will be no need for emigration."
He also commented on Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan's remark during
his meeting with voters in Ararat. The president said "not only 100
steps, but we will also make 100,000 steps."
"Could you make both 100 steps and 100,000 steps? Why didn't you make
them? I want to remind you Serzh Sargsyan's promises he gave five
years ago. Now he is not giving promises, but he is reproaching us,"
Mr Bargaryan said.
The oppositionist delivered his speech in front of the Palace of
Culture, where preparations for Serzh Sargsyan's visit and speech
are under way.
Mr Bagratyan is to visit Metsamor as well.
