14:00 / 25.12.2014
Political analyst Levon Shirinyan spoke at a news conference today
about the political achievements of the passing year, he also stressed
the significance of some actions carried out by the army.
In particular, he singled out the August activities and the operation
on returning the bodies of crew members of the Armenian helicopter
downed by the Azerbaijani forces.
"These were actions peculiar to the best armies of the world,"
Shirinyan said, adding that unfortunately these brilliant military
activities were not properly reflected on our reality.
"Regarding the inner development of the state nothing encouraging
happened. The country has not become more democratic and free. Mainly
the civil sector has become active which is very good but Armenia
continues staying a presidential republic with the political course
being worked out by the president. But no changes are being registered
in this course yet," he said, adding that it is important for our
authorities to understand that it should act not forgetting about
its rating.
Referring to Armenia's membership to the Eurasian Economic Union,
Shirinyan said that it does not exclude Armenia's cooperation with
Europe but the success mainly depends on the education and patriotism
of the ruling circles.
"Everything must be done to make Armenia a scientific-industrial
center thanks to which it will be possible to solve the emigration
issue. It is also necessary to regulate the activity of the financial
oligarchy," Shirinyan said.
