ANC LEADER’S CALL FOR COMMON AGENDA MAY APPLY TO ARMENIA’S AUTHORITIES

Prosperous Armenia parliamentary group member Gurgen Arsenyan has
stated that the proposal for a unification the Armenian National
Congress (ANC) party Levon Ter-Petrosyan made at the ANC rally on
March 1 may apply to Armenia’s authorities as well.

At the ANC rally, Ter-Petrosyan stated that certain representatives
of the ruling circles, as well as big businessmen, are gradually
growing inclined to think of radical reforms.

“My personal opinion is that Armenia needs reforms, and the way it
is now following is ineffective. Armenia needs an effective way,
and Ter-Petropsyan proposed one of them,” Arsenyan told Tert.am.

He pointed out the need for common will.

“And displaying common will applies to people responsible for
Armenia’s present and future. Ter-Petrosyan was not addressing only
those present, but also the society, that is the people in power,”
the MP added.

As to the possibility of the authorities’ involvement in drafting a
common agenda, Arsenyan said that the authorities can be involved in
this process if they want to and see the problems facing the country
and the need to solve them.

“The authorities can be the most efficient. The opposition assuming
the authorities’ functions is a way they have to pass if they can.

That is, you can remain involved in this process, without getting
any results,” Arsenyan said.

According to him, if Armenia’s authorities are aware of their
responsibility, they must make this step because the opposition has
stated the need for changes.

As to the possibility of all the opposition forces jointly discussing
the issue of changes, Arsenyan said:

“The authorities are acting reasonably. But if the authorities do
not see the reality, this is a problem.”

“But both Levon Ter-Petrosyan and Serzh Sargsyan, and Gagik Tsarukyan
and Gurgen Arsenyan and all the others are Armenia’s citizens. And if
we think of our country, we must take steps to end negative processes.”
