ArmInfo.Refusing to accept our proposals, colleagues from the "My Step" bloc follow the path beaten by their predecessors, member of the Bright Armenia parliamentary faction Taron Simonyan expressed a similar opinion to ArmInfo.
The parliamentarian considers the legacy of the past to be the main reason for the refusal to accept the opposition's proposals. According to him, the former authorities had the same attitude to the legislative initiatives of the opposition. A similar principle, according to the opposition, is fundamentally wrong and its results are visible today.
"Almost all of our proposals instantly run into opposition from the majority. However, they do not even delve into the essence of the proposals, even the essence of the reasons for their own opposition. Meanwhile, the consideration and adoption of these proposals proceeds from their own interests, since the state needs it. Our proposals don't have one-sided interest. They are based on the results of research, which, in theory, any thinking authority should come to, "he said.
According to Simonyan, the Bright Armenia has been constantly stating in the parliament the past year and a half about serious problems in the law enforcement system. And in due time the government didn't even want to discuss the faction's proposals for reforming the government structure within the framework of the government's program. And started to discuss this option only this year. Meanwhile, if the reform process had begun last year, this year the authorities would not have encountered any related problems.
"Today I don't understand at all the position of the authorities. We proposed to start reforming practically all fields of state administration immediately after the revolution. The revolutionary situation, the atmosphere was more than ever favorable for the introduction, implementation of new ideas, approaches and changes. Today the situation is gradually freezing, and reforming the state apparatus is becoming more and more difficult over time, "he said.
According to Simonyan, it is never too late to initiate reforms, but 2 years ago it was much easier to do. Today, the process has become more complicated due to an increase in the system's resilience to these reforms. Recalling that Prime Minister Pashinyan himself periodically talks about this, the parliamentarian described this course of events as quite natural, noting that the more reforms are delayed, the more internal resistance to these reforms increases.
