ArmInfo.The ARF "Dashnaktsutyun" party entered the re- election race with a meeting with voters near the monument to the founder of the First Republic Aram Manukyan.
Armen Rustamyan, head of the ARFD list, stated during his speech that today Armenia is at an important historical stage - in the transition period. According to the Dashnaktsakan, there was not a revolution in the country, but a change of administration. Rustamyan assured that the revolution is still ahead, and it will begin with the receipt of real power. "The real revolutions begin with the coming to power, and the false ones end," said Rustamyan.
Speaking about the challenges and threats facing Armenia during the transitional stage, Rustamyan assured that the ARF is participating in these elections precisely with the goal of voicing the threats facing the country and proposing ways to solve them. "The main threat today is to prevent the new from suddenly becoming well-forgotten old or well-wrapped old," said the first number of the ARF, adding that today there are serious prerequisites for this.
Touching the statement and. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, that the promises made to the people during the revolutionary movement were 100% fulfilled, Rustamyan expressed conviction that the most important promise was not fulfilled, namely, the institution of superpremty was not eliminated. "In fact, all the same people remained - but suddenly it turned out that there are no more oligarchs in Armenia, they are businessmen. That is, they became" their own "because they showed loyalty and expressed readiness to serve the new authorities. And this is not the only example , since the 90s, we have seen how strengthening our own positions led to the loss of the potential for a national awakening, even faced the threat of losing the victory in the Karabakh war. You cannot repeat the same mistakes, you cannot lead the people through the same ordeals. serve all and not one only to the administration that came to power. We saw at one time how power, which gained more than 80% of people's trust, used power for its own purposes, "Rustamyan concluded.
In turn, the third member of the ARFD list, Arthur Khachatryan, believes that the state cannot do nothing, because it occupies a key role in the development of the country. "Today, people complain of injustice. Thousands of people work day and night and receive pennies. The oligarchs, who are now called entrepreneurs, take the lion's share of the blessings. The state should become an active player from a passive coordinator," Khachatryan said.
Meanwhile, ARFD member Artsvik Minasyan once again assured them that they have clear programs to solve the urgent problems facing the country. Minasyan believes that other political forces do not possess such programs, besides they have rallied around one person and do not see the future of the country.
