BLACKLISTING NOTORIOUS OFFICIALS KEY TOOL FOR PREVENTING MIGRATION - ARF-D
18:10 18.09.13
Members of the opposition Armenian Revolutionary
Federation-Dashnaksutyun (ARF-D) find blacklisting discredited
officials an effective tool in their migration prevention efforts.
The party, which previously had the experience of submitting blacklists
to the president with a demand of sacking officials with tainted
reputation, is now said to have elaborated a news list.
In the 11-clause platform unveiled on Tuesday, the ARF-D proposed
that government officials with an anti-Christian and anti-social
behavior be sacked to prevent an increased public distrust in the state
administration system. It called for measures to ban public servants'
access to casinos and to prevent them from owning property or making
investments abroad.
Tert.am contacted Artsvik Minasyan, a lawmaker of the ARF-D faction,
for further comments, but he appeared to be unaware of any blacklist.
He said only that the party will point to specific criteria without
publishing names, and later call for appropriate government efforts
against such officials.
"In politics, the solution to a problem like this is fully within
the authorities' competence. We are not going to submit any lists or
publish any names. We mention the criteria which we believe exist,
but we are not going to unveil names not to harm the plans."
All the initiative says is that we have officials whose activities
produce a negative psychological impact on the society, causing most
people to choose migration as the only way out, said the ARF-D MP.
"Hence individuals not meeting those criteria have to be sacked. But
that's within the competence of the authorities and the Armenian
president," Minasyan explained.
