PanARMENIAN.Net – ARF Dashnaktsutyun opposition party member Lilit
Galstyan called on the authorities particularly the ruling Republican
Party of Armenia (RPA) to learn to assume responsibility for its
administration.
“Political majority on behalf of the President and the Prime Minister
likes to speak about morality, however without turning words into
actions,” she added.
In this context, the MP ironically noted that the authorities gained
over 80% during recent elections of the local authorities despite the
current social and economic breakdown, enormous poverty and emigration
rate, with 40-50 thous. people annually fleeing the “good country.”
“It’s easy to bribe a person when he/she gets AMD 35 thous. monthly
salary (approximately USD 90),” she added.
The event was organized by Armenian Center of Political and
International Studies through support of National Democratic Institute
(NDI).
Armenian parliamentary elections are due on May 6, with eight political
parties and one bloc (Armenian National Congress) running for them.
