On the first day of its parliament race, the opposition Armenian
Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaksutyun (ARF-D) introduced its election
program proposes 147 steps.
Speaking at the party's meeting on Monday, a former minister social
affairs, Aghvan Vardanyan, said they are not going to stage special
shows to open their campaign, but instead - advance ideas likely to
win success.
A former minister of agriculture, David Lokyan said the first clause
in ARF-D's election platform calls for a centrist approach by the
state and citizens. As for foreign policy priorities, the party seeks
to develop the general principles of the Armenia-EU cooperation,
maintaining maximum good relations with the CIS countries.
The program, according to him, will focus on social issues, covering
two aspects -intensive growth of the gross domestic product and a
targeted distribution of welfare.
"Development should be mainly directed at export, ensuring global
changes and opening of banks," he said.
Lokyan further spoke of the situation in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh),
Javakhk and several colonies in the Diaspora.
According to Arsen Hambardzumyan, also a former a minister of social
affairs, the social clauses in ARF-D's program are aimed at increasing
salaries and promoting employment opportunities, as well as enhancing
the Armenia's demography and eradicating poverty.
Hambardzumyan promised that the proposed changes will increase the
country's population by 50,000, ensuring a higher amount of benefits
for every other child born to a family.
Ara Nranyan of the ARF-D faction in parliament addressed the provisions
on developing small and medium-size businesses, noting that the party
has so far been the only political force committed to fulfilling its
pre-election pledges.
"The ARF-D has been more committed than the ruling political force,"
he said.
