Armen Martirosyan, Chairman of the Board of Heritage party, said that
no positive progress has been recorded in the country since Armenian
President Serzh Sargsyan’s inauguration two years ago.
"Those, who are guilty of 10 people’s death during the March 1, 2008,
tragic events, have not been revealed, all political prisoners have
not been released, while the judicial system of the country continues
implementing political orders," Martirosyan said during a briefing
in the RA National Assembly.
In her turn, head of Orinats Yerkir parliamentary group Heghine
Bisharyan noted that during Serzh Sargsyan’s presidency the tense
internal political situation in Armenia, conditioned by the March
1 events, has rather alleviated. Besides, Armenia has recorded an
unprecedented progress in the foreign political sphere, noted she.
"The tense internal political situation has alleviated during two
years, but due to a change in Armenian citizens’ attitude towards
the reality and not due to the leadership’s efforts," member of the
ARF Dashnaktsutyun parliamentary group Artsvik Minasyan said during
the briefing.
According to Minasyan, despite the relatively stable internal
political situation in the country, the situation is extremely tense
in the foreign policy sphere with respect to the Armenian President’s
initiative policy. "The tense situation in the foreign political sphere
may have a negative impact on the internal situation in Armenia,"
noted he.
Member of Prosperous Armenia parliamentary group Naira Zohrabyan noted
that Armenia has recorded a progress in the foreign political sphere,
as normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations has switched
onto a normal track and active negotiations are conducted over the
Karabakh conflict settlement. She also said that the tense internal
situation has rather alleviated over two years. "The President made
a huge contribution to it, as he discusses the most important issues
not only in Armenia, but also in the Diaspora," noted she.
Head of the Republican Party parliamentary group Galust Sahakyan
said that during Serzh Sargsyan’s presidency Armenia’s positions have
significantly strengthened in the foreign political sphere. "Recently,
issues related to Armenia were always discussed at major international
forums. In other words, the international community already understands
Armenia’s problems," stressed he.
