“I consider the position of NA Chairman is honorable, responsible and
obligating,” said NA Vice-Speaker Tigran Torosyan. He emphasized three
main groups of questions, the intensions of resolving which provided
the ground for not refusing from his candidacy’s being suggested.
He attached great importance to the role of the Parliament in resolving
problems the country faces and noted that he highly emphasizes the
full implementation of Constitutional amendments in the legislature.
“Providing for the Constitutionalism of our life is of extreme
importance, taking into consideration the 2007 parliamentary elections
and the presidential elections in 2008, since a politically tense
period is awaiting us. We should effectively use the term we are
elected for and not leave the work for the post-elections period,
thus losing two years,” Tigran Torosyan said.
Arrangement and conduct of upcoming elections is of extreme
importance. The international community is curious whether
Armenia s able to hold elections corresponding to international
standards. According to Tigran Torosyan’s assessment, such questioning
only should be pitiful and insulting.
“We are obliged to hold elections in compliance with all international
standards, qualitatively changing the life and course of our
country. In the months to come the activity of the parliamentary and
non-parliamentary forces should be targeted at this,” the candidate
for NA Chairman said.
Tigran Torosyan considers that the three years of work with former
NA Chairman Arthur Baghdasaryan were effective.
