YEREVAN, JANUARY 17, NOYAN TAPAN. Existence of equal economic
possibilities, ensuring of free competition and immunity of property
is considered as important in the economic part of the preelection
program of first RA President Levon Ter-Petrosian, a candidate
for presidency. Vahagn Khachatrian, a member of the Alternative
public-political initiative, said this at the January 17 dispute adding
that in general, the countries, which take the way of liberalization
of economy, develop successfully and quickly.
According to V. Khachatrian, all branches of economy, except the sphere
of high technologies, should be also liberalized in Armenia. While,
according to the representative of Alternative, the robber authorities
and, in particular, President Robert Kocharian, have created economic
monopolies for the purpose of building a one-pole power pyramid. "It
would be right if Kocharian at once declared Armenia a constitutional
monarchy," V. Khachatrian said.
Ara Nranian, a member of the ARFD NA faction, said that limitation
of monopolies and establishment of competitive relations are
spoken about in the preelection program of Vahan Hovhannisian,
a candidate for presidency nominated by ARFD. According to the MP,
in case of being elected the ARFD candidate will pursue fulfilment
of party’s preelection provisions adopted as far back as in 2007,
in particular, raising the minimum salary up to 50 thousand drams
(nearly 165 dollars).
