Presidential contender from ARF Dashnaktsutyun, Vice-Speaker of the
National Assembly of Armenia Vahan Hovhannissyan stated that it is
necessary to launch struggle against monopoly in Armenia.
Vahan Hovhannissian told a press conference today that the political
overview after the parliamentary elections can lead not only to
monopoly in the sphere of economy, but also to political monopoly,
which is extremely dangerous for the future of Armenia.
According to him, despite the fact that over the past nine years
Dashnaktsutyun has been closely cooperating with the Republican Party
of Armenia (RPA), all this time the given political forces have had
and still have certain discords concerning the political and economic
course, which the RPA and the country’s government keep to.
However, the Vice-Speaker stated, we cannot ignore the fact that the
Republican Party represents majority in the parliament, and they be
cooperating, irrespective of the outcome of the upcoming presidential
elections.
Vice-Speaker of the parliament expressed regret that the presidential
elections have inimical nature between the present and the former
authorities, since this is "a quite sad phenomenon for our country."
Vahan Hovhannissyan did not reveal the details of his pre-election
platform, noting that the pre-election campaign has not yet started.
