Edmond Marukyan: "Lusavor Hayastan"`s main goal is to build a European
state model in Armenia

Yerevan February 17

Ani Mshetsyan. The main goal of the "Lusavor Hayastan" party is to
build a European model of the state in Armenia. This was stated by the
chairman of the party, the deputy of the Parliament of Armenia from
the block "Elk" Edmond Marukyan on February 17 at the 2nd congress of
the "Lusavor Hayastan" party.

Edmond Marukyan said that taking into account the main problems facing
the Republic of Armenia, the party once again confirms that the main
guarantor of Armenia's long-term security and overall development is
the construction of a European model state. In this regard, he
presented a document that should be adopted at the congress. "At this
congress, we must adopt a document called the Manifesto of the Rule of
Law, which is essentially the continuation of the program adopted by
our party on December 12, 2015. The main thing for us is to establish
the rule of law for building democracy," he stressed.

Marukyan also talked about the achievements of the party in recent
years. The MP noted that over the past 2 years the party has come a
long way and registered a number of major victories, including the
formation of the Elk faction, the participation of party
representatives in the elections to the Armenian parliament, the
Council of Elders of Yerevan, as well as local self-government bodies.

Speaking about the "Elk" faction, the MP noted that the way of the
bloc's representatives was thorny and difficult. "Our main goal is to
create a strong Armenia and ensure the freedom of citizens, we remain
committed to our principles and will do everything possible to ensure
that the "Elk" Alliance is able to withstand all the challenges that
have come our way, as our motto:" Through the thorns to the stars ",
the politician noted.

Marukyan also noted that a big role in the life of the party is played
by cooperation with European structures on the pan-European and
international arena. Today the party closely cooperates with the
Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE), and seeks to
become a member of this organization. He also stressed cooperation
with other international funds.

The politician also turned to the domestic political situation in
Armenia. Marukyan noted that after the constitutional amendments the
system of distribution of power in Armenia has not changed. "The
winners get everything, and the loser - nothing. The authorities are
mainly engaged in imitating processes and do not commit any steps
aimed at the development of our state," said the deputy.

According to Edmond Marukyan, in fact, the republic passes from the
presidential system of government to the form of government of the
prime minister. "The constant reproduction of the power of the same
person and the complete absence of confrontation is a serious problem
for the establishment of democracy in our country, which becomes the
greatest threat to statehood," he stressed and announced that
representatives of the Elk faction demanded the implementation of all
Constitutional orders. In conclusion, Marukyan said that
representatives of the "Lusavor Hayastan" party consider themselves an
integral part of the global liberal family and will do everything
possible to build liberalism in Armenia.
