Turning to the fluctuations of the dollar-dram exchange rate, Head
of the United Labor Party Gurgen Arsenyan declared today that the
journalists and NGOs should be concerned not with the price of dram
but with the rise of prices.
Here Gurgen Arsenyan repeats the President of the Central Bank: "The
currency of the Republic of Armenia is the dram, not the dollar. Most
part of salaries and pensions are paid in dram. The devaluation of the
currency of another country, the dollar, should concern us as much as
the devaluation of the Japanese yen would." In Arsenyan’s opinion,
more rightist liberal, therefore more socially oriented forces
will be represented in the National Assembly of fourth convocation,
including the Armenian Revolutionary Party, the "Justice" block, the
"National Unity" and "Orinats Yerkir." In his opinion, the people
are tired of populist and socialist political forces.
Why did Orinats Yerkir leave the arena, and the United Labor Party
came to replace it. Some analysts confirm that by gaining places in the
Government the Labor Party is trying to make best use of its last term.
Gurgen Arsenyan confirms that his party will stay in the political
field and no matter whether it is represented in the National Assembly
of the fourth convocation or not. The founding President of the Party
is confident, however, that it will be represented in the Parliament
alone, not in a block.
