At a press conference today, MP Vardan Ayvazyan described certain
points in the HAK (Armenian National Congress) “100 Steps” platform as
“utopian”. He also claimed that the anti-crisis economic program of
the Armenian government was already bearing positive results.

Commenting on the remarks made by MP Ayvazyan, HAK Coordinator Levon
Zurabyan told Hetq that is was natural that Ayvazyan and others
like him would label as “utopian” the destruction of oligarchic rule
in Armenia.

“We do not see such a thing as utopian and we are certain that after
the victory of the pan-national movement all the clauses of the 100
Steps platform will be realistically achieved,” Zurabyan said.

Referring to the alleged success of the government anti-crisis program,
Zurabyan said that a true appraisal would be found out on the streets
in talks with average citizens. Zurabyan added that Ayvazyan was in
no position to do such a thing because his safety would be in peril
out in public.
