The speech of the first president of Armenia, Levon Ter-Petrosyan, at
the rally of the Armenian National Congress on 1 March at the Liberty
Square of Yerevan, became the detailed continuation of the points
put forward by the leader of the Prosperous Armenia Party, Gagik
Tsarukyan, at the PAP congress, Armenia's former foreign minister,
a member of the parliament from the PAP faction, Vardan Oskanian,
wrote at his page in Facebook.
He said that in their speeches both politicians put stress at the
crisis in the social and economic situation in the republic and offered
the painless ways out from it. Oskanian offered the only right way
out of the created situation - consolidation of civil society and
political forces. "I think that any leadership which is not sold on
an idea of preserving their power by all means, should welcome the
idea of the pan-national consolidation, which will promote raising
of international image of the republic", - Oskanian assured.
He recalled that the next all-republican election in Armenia will
be held in 2017-2018. "However, Armenia does not have such a time
potential as well as human, economic and political resources for
waiting for such a long time, especially taking into consideration
the bitter experience of the past elections. For this reason,
the all-national demand to the government to resign is the only
logical way out from the created situation", - he said and added
thatthe next step for recovering of the situation in the republic
should be formation of the new government on the basis of the four
non-coalition parliamentary forces (Prosperous Armenia Party, Armenian
National Congress, Heritage party and ARFD) with participation of
representatives of civilian sector and out of parliament forces.
