Prominent businessman and powerful political leader Gagik Tsarukyan
on Thursday called for fresh faces and new leadership at a conference
he organized through his party, Prosperous Armenia.
"Armenia needs a government of a new quality, new, educated people. In
this regard I express my will to support such new candidates; I
call upon Armenians living both in Armenia and abroad, specialists
with good education to unite around creating an alternative to our
functioning government. The ball is in the government's court, but
their time is not unlimited and they have to make up their mind,"
Tsarukyan said during the conference attended by other opposition
parties, NGOs and analysts.
The PAP head urged his listeners to not to get disappointed and tired
while "breaking the obstacles of indifference" and added that at the
moment the biggest problem is to break the social indifference toward
their own country.
"Public patience is up, indeed. The Gyumri incident (when a family of
seven was murdered in January), border tension, unbearable inflation,
instability of the financial market must have alarmed the government
that the society is on the verge of huge breakdowns. One wrong move,
even a wrong word can take the people out to the streets," Tsarukyan
said adding that after more than three months idle they will restart
rallies in provinces and Yerevan soon.
Tsarukyan once again criticized President Serzh Sargsyan's initiative
of Constitutional changes, recent financial upheavals and the
government's reaction to them, and said that the 12-point demands
drawn by the opposition "troika" are still on.
"If the government chooses the option of denial, then the public has
just one thing left to do - demand new presidential and parliamentary
elections. People must remember that no position is forever, and if
the country's development and the country's security need change of
government, then it must take place," Tsarukyan said.
According to Tsarukyan, in order to solve Armenia's social and economic
problems, an efficient administrative system must be applied, so that
no political force has monopoly in the formation of the government.
