President: Armenian authorities have no right to blame global crisis
for own faults
YEREVAN, March 23. /ARKA/. Armenian authorities have no right to blame
the global crisis for own mistakes and faults, Armenian President
Serzh Sargsyan said on Friday while discussing the crisis with
political parties’ leaders.
`The crisis is not only the government’s problem. Crisis is our common
problem. Crisis is not our fault. It is not an Armenian phenomenon. If
we don’t resist the crisis with joint efforts, the crisis will strike
hard at the whole community. It is not reasonable to leave the
government alone with this problem’, the president said.
He said that there is no remedy for that.
Sargsyan said that this is his second meeting with political
activists.
At his first meeting, they discussed ways to settle Karabakh problem.
The president said that the global crisis has affected all countries,
and `Armenia and its economy are not isolated islands, and the crisis
impacts us as well’.
He stressed the importance of such meetings saying that the discussion
can produce particular results.
The head of state said that developed countries resorted to
extraordinary measures, which were considered unacceptable before the
crisis.
`Unfortunately, nobody has invented a remedy. It is clear that things
force Armenian Government to take extraordinary steps. The premier and
member of the Government are constantly informing the community about
that’, he said adding that Armenians are good at finding unusual
solutions to unusual problems.
Sargsyan thinks that time has come to use creative capacity of the nation.
