  • LTP: His election "salvation way", Sarkisian "inevitable ruin"

    Levon Ter-Petrosian stated that if he is elected, Armenia will choose a
    `salvation way', and the victory of Serzh Sarkisian will lead to
    `inevitable ruin'

    January 28, 2008

    Yerevan /Mediamax/. Ex-President of Armenia, presidential candidate
    Levon Ter-Petrosian harshly criticized another presidential candidate,
    Prime Minister Serzh Sarkisian and stated that on February 19, the
    citizens will have to choose `between two paths for the development of
    the country, one of which leads to inevitable ruin, the other ` to
    salvation'.

    Mediamax reports that this is stated in the address of Levon
    Ter-Petrosian to the electors, which was spread by his press service
    today.

    `In case Serzh Sarkisian is elected, no positive changes will take
    place in our country, on the contrary, the vicious phenomena, which
    were present during the rule of Robert Kocharian, will deepen', former
    President stated. In particular, Ter-Petrosian argues that if Serzh
    Sarkisian is elected Armenian President:

    `- pitiless exploitation of the population and accumulation of national
    values in the hands of a few people will continue;

    - polarization of the society will aggravate: the rich will become
    richer, the poor - poorer;

    - monopolization of economy will start once and for all endangering the
    existence of small and medium business;

    - illegal actions and tyranny of law-enforcement bodies, tax and custom
    services will not stop;

    - the continuing process of emigration will grow into a demographic
    catastrophe;

    - the revelation of unprecedented felonies will be suppressed: the
    terrorist act of October 27 of 1999, other assassinations, intrigues,
    related to the import of gas and petrol;

    - economic and political blockade of Armenia will not be overcome, the
    threat of resumption of war in Nagorno-Karabakh will increase'.

    In case of being elected, Levon Ter-Petrosian promises to realize the
    following: `reestablishment of constitutional order, implementation of
    democratic liberties in life, establishment of law, establishment of
    equal conditions for managing subjects, securing free competition,
    carrying out constructive foreign policy, etc.'.

    Besides, the presidential candidate promises to take up the following
    steps, aiming at `abrupt improvement' of the social-economic state of
    the citizens:

    `- increase the average pension volumes and average salary for 3-4
    times in the course of the nearest 5 years;

    - speed up the process of compensation of the soviet deposits by means
    of issuing state bonds;

    - considerably increase one-time benefits to women in childbirth;

    - amnesty for people, having evaded Army service, etc'.
