Armenian politicians represented by members of ARF Dashnaktsutyun and
the Republican Party of Armenia, shared their views on government’s
activities for 2009 at the press conference.
Leader of ARF Dashnaktsutyun Vahan Hovhannisyan said there were a few
positive developments due to fair and subjective reasons. He said:
"We, our government, and society are guilty of the subjective reasons,
while among the fair reasons we can name the crisis. The positive
development is the Standing Committee’s report on clashes on March
1 2008. The Committee worked effectively, and ARFD agrees with its
conclusion – it is fair and balanced."
"We’ve sent to Parliament a multipage document with detailed proposals
for 2010. Government’s activities do not respond to economical
challenges that our country faces," he added.
Deputy Chair of the Standing Parliamentary Commission for European
Integration, member of the Republican Party of Armenia, Manvel Badeyan,
in his turn, assumed as an economist that there is neither government
in the world that could neatly say what steps respond to challenges
in crisis times. He said: "Any step can be criticized at crisis
times." He added, the government is the body that can be criticized
always and fairly. However, all the steps taken by the government are,
if not perfect, then certainly reasonable.
