The situation in the country is pretty tense, not only in a political, but also in a socioeconomic sense, said Heritage Party MP Vardan Khachatryan, speaking to journalists in Yerevan earlier today. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The deputy also noted that the poor economic situation is mainly the responsibility of the Armenian government and not the opposition. Khachatryan said he didn’t really see those programs that the ruling authorities prior to elections promised to realize.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Another participant in today’s press conference, ruling Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) MP Gagik Melikyan, disagreeing Khachatryan, said that there are even trends toward overcoming the economic crisis.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
However, Khachatryan recalled that during the economic crisis, Armenia’s ruling authorities were saying that it will bypass Armenia, though, of course, that didn’t happen. According to the Heritage Party member, the fact that both inflation and the number of Armenian citizens leaving the country is on the rise cannot be considered a “trend” in overcoming the economic crisis. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On the 2012 parliamentary elections, Khachatryan didn’t exclude the possibility that there will be unions and re-unions among the opposition \u2014 however, he didn’t specify which parties or opposition groups would unite or form a coalition.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Speaking on the same issue, Melikyan said that the HHK intends to reach its aim of winning these elections. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Saying that opposition group Armenian National Congress (HAK), “it seems, is living a fiasco,” Melikyan said that “those sentiments of HAK that the ruling authorities will fail in their foreign policy failed.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In Melikyan’s opinion, ruling authorities not only haven’t failed in their foreign policy, but also have registered certain progress.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the words of the HHK MP, at this time, HAK is in search of deciding its path.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
