Armenian citizens will not have normal living conditions nor will they
be protected until they form their authorities and establish proper
control over them, Armen Martirosyan, Board Chairman, Heritage Party,
stated in Parliament on March 16.
He spoke of the grave social and economic conditions in Armenia.
"This all seems to have to do with the present economic policy. But I
am sure you are all well aware of the fact that the economic policy is
resultant from the government policy. And the authorities, employing
both legislative and executive levers, are creating such unequal
and unjust conditions — big businesses are growing even bigger,
while small-to-medium businesses are nearly dying," Martirosyan
said. "It is no coincidence that both elections are rigged and March
1 is organized for these authorities to remain in power. The result
is the incomes concentrated in the hands of several dozen clans,
widespread impoverishment and large-scale emigration," he said.
