/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Male MPs in the parliament have something to learn
from women deputies, "the famous bard Ruben Hakhverdyan told today’s
press conference in Yerevan. "Armenian deputies can begin even with
the study of Armenian language, now they are talking with the people in
so-called "modern language", resulting in they do not reach the people,
" Hakhverdyan noticed.
Hakhverdyan also noted that it would be better if Armenia abolished
the presidential government, since the president of the country is
perceived as "king."
"The current situation of the Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan is
quite difficult," Hakhverdyan said, reminding one of President’s
statements that "All you need – to start from scratch." "Being to
some extent related to so many oligarchs, it is difficult to start
something from scratch, because this sheet is to some extent already
dirty," Ruben Hakhverdyan said.
According to him, "even if the president and wants to start from
scratch, it would not be the easiest task. To date, the oligarchs led
the government and not the Government led them." A similar situation,
according to Hakhverdyan, evolved during the reign of Robert Kocharyan,
who led the country well only during his first term of presidency,
during the second term oligarchs "sat on his head".
"The reason why I did not take part in rallies during the presidential
election, is that people participating in meetings demanded: "Levon,
Levon!" (The first president of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosyan – Ed.),
forgetting about the cold winters.
Ruben Hakhverdyan also noted that Yerevan becomes like province,
and Armenia resembles the country with a large head and small body,
since all concentrated in one place – the capital. "
