YEREVAN, MARCH 7, NOYAN TAPAN. "Women have been defeated in the
political struggle in Armenia," Lyudmila Haroutiunian, Chairwoman
of Arzhanapatvutiun (Dignity) Party, stated at the March 7 press
conference adding that women should take an equal part in "politics
as collective strategy of making decisions."
In her words, "in many countries they attach great importance to women
and involve them in many spheres not because they love women very much,
but because they consider that women will do this business better." In
the words of Ruzan Khachatrian, member of Political Board of People’s
Party of Armenia (PPA), politics is business of an honest, educated
person and sexual characteristics play no role here. In her words,
maybe there would not be many problems in the country, if women’s
role in a number of spheres was greater. R. Khachatrian also said
that an Armenian woman is worthy of living in a fair, safe country
where her rights and the rights of her children will be protected.
