Aghvan Vardanian: City Authorities Perform 10% Of Their Obligations

AGHVAN VARDANIAN: CITY AUTHORITIES PERFORM 10% OF THEIR OBLIGATIONS

Tuesday,
April 16

“One third of the pre-election period is behind. Our main task included
preparatory and organizational issues: headquarters have been set
up in all administrative districts of Yerevan. On Sunday we visited
all the eleven headquarters and summed up the results of work done,”
ARF-Dashnaktsutyun faction deputy Aghvan Vardanian said at the meeting
with reporters today. He spoke about the election campaign of ARFD.

He said that in each administrative district of the city, ARFD plans
to hold 8-12 meetings in yards and one big meeting. As for election
campaigning, in all likelihood, it will conclude with a large-scale
city event.

Discussing the character of the upcoming elections to Council of
Elders, Aghvan Vardanian noted: “These elections are political ones
and are also related to the government system. A situation and
an atmosphere have formed in the country. Presidential elections
have recently been held, and it is clear that a large part of the
population is against the current government system and the political
monopoly. Our citizens must realize that we elect not Taron Margarian,
but make a choice between political forces”.

Discussing Yerevan problems, Vardanian pointed out the problem of
earthquake resistance. “Buildings constructed 70 years ago make up
79% of housing fund, and it is not clear what may happen in case
of an earthquake. Just look at the state of attics in Yerevan,”
Vardanian stressed.

The representative of ARFD said that city authorities perform 10%
of their obligations, but present themselves as benefactors. “These
are your obligations that you have so far performed badly,” Aghvan
Vardanian said.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
