IF ISSUE OF RETURN OF POPULATION’S DEPOSITS NOT SOLVED, ALREADY IN SPRING
PEOPLE WILL RAISE WAVE OF PROTEST: ARMENIAN MP

YEREVAN, DECEMBER 17. ARMINFO. If the Armenian Government does
not solve the issue of return of population’s deposits with the
Savingsbank of the former USSR, in the spring of 2005 the people will
raise such a wave, that the country’s authorities will envy Eduard
Shevardnadze and Leonid Kuchma. Armenian MP Hmayak Hovhannissyan
says at a press-conference at the club “Pakagits,” Friday. It was
Hovhannissyan that initiated the extraordinary parliamentary session
on this issue.

In his words, if the issue is not solved, the population will show its
attitude to the ruling coalition already at the next elections. If
the authorities are unable to solve this problem, they must send
in their resignation, otherwise it will lead to establishment of a
fascist regime in Armenia, Hovhannissyan says. He states that his
initiative pursued a goal of exposing the ruling coalition, which
ignores the interests of the population in such important issues.
If the coalition represetnatives, in particular, Republicans and
Dashnaks, do not attend the extraordinary parliamentary session,
I will apply to the population from the tribune demanding that the
coalition MPs be brought to the parliament, Hovhannissyan states. The
problem with return of the population’s deposits could be solved even
several years ago. Then the authorities could distribute the shares
of the privatized enterprises to the depositors, hereby solving the
problem, he states.
