ARMENIAN POLITICIAN CALLS FOR SERIOUS DIALOGUE OVER COUNTRY'S FUTURE
14:44 * 15.12.14
An Armenian politician on Monday called for active efforts towards
mobilizing the country's political potential for resolving future
challenges.
Ashot Manucharyan particularly stressed the importance of targeting
attention to three major issues. "The political forces, the
authorities, the parliamentary factions and the extra-parliamentary
forces must sit around a table to decide the country's priorities
and make redistribution in political matters," he said.
"The nation today is split into two groups, one striding towards the
West and the other - towards the East. But we need a foreign political
diversification now. So it is important to decide which circle is to
serve who," the politician said, ruling out any conflict of interests
in what he described as a common fight for the protection of national
interests.
As a second major step, Manucharyan emphasized the need of creating
a commission of law enforcement professionals and journalists for
conducting an independent investigation.
He further called for strong efforts by the authorities to rule out
any internal confrontations.
Asked whether he expects unity between the political forces of Armenia,
Manucharyan said he thinks that consolidation would be inevitable in
case of a war breaks or an attempt by the Islamic to reach Armenia
via Turkey.
"We turn out to be cheating one another, pretending that everything
is good and it is still possible to amass fortune. But once people
realize the stress of moment, everything will change. All citizens
today have to be trained as home-guards, with everyone having a
function of his or her own. Once you are in a situation that sees
the threats decreasing, the country which is to launch attacks takes
precautions. And that has to apply to all areas of life," he added.
