YEREVAN, JUNE 27, NOYAN TAPAN. The discussion of the program of the RA
government for the coming five years at the NA showed that currently
all parliamentary factions have constructive goals in the respect of
their legislative work. Eduard Sharmazanov, a member of the Board of
the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) and the NA RPA faction, said
that the evidence of this was the Orinats Yerkir (Country of Law)
faction’s abstaining from voting of government’s program and the
"positive opinion" voiced by it in connection with the program.

E. Sharmazanov also stated at the press conference that since RPA’s
coming to power in 2000, first generation reforms have been implemented
in the country. "Even with the naked eye one can see that in 1999
poverty made 90% and now it makes 29%," the MP said adding that the
RPA members will try to strengthen their achievements.

In response to the question of whether he is sure that RPA member
businessmen conscientiously pay taxes E. Sharmazanov said that
market relations have a history of only 15 years in Armenia and "it
is impossible without shade." He said that the result of fighting
fraud and corruption will become visible in several years. And as
E. Sharmazanov predicted, the RPA’s program under the title "For You,
Armenia" will be completely fulfilled until 2012.
