YEREVAN, APRIL 18, NOYAN TAPAN. All problems accumulated in Armenia
are the consequence of one main problem: the power in the country does
not belong to the people. Shavarsh Kocharian, Chairman of National
Democratic Party (NDP), stated at the April 17 press conference.
He said that for the purpose of changing the situation NDP’s
preelectoral program envisages, in particular, creating a law,
according to which electors will have a possibility to recall not
only individual MPs, but also the whole parliament. Besides, in
S. Kocharian’s words, administrative courts should be created in
the country, which will invalidate the decisions of the authorities
violating human rights.
Another important step is rehabilitation of economy. For this purpose,
as NDP Chairman affirmed, a law should be adopted, according to
which businessmen will be prohibited to be engaged in politics and
political figures in business. S. Kocharian said that this will result
in considerable reduction of shady economy and bribery.
S. Kocharian visited the regions in the past 11 days of the agitation
campaign, he had meetings with the local residents and never met any
obstacles. He said that NDP called the people to take part in the
elections without fail.
S. Kocharian gave assurance that in case of high turnout NDP will
receive the most part of votes, "up to majority of votes."
