YEREVAN. - Opposition Armenian National Movement Party Board member
Hovhannes Igityan wants to believe in President Serzh Sargsyan's
sincerity. Igityan himself stated this during a press conference on
Wednesday.
In his view, Sargsyan's recent meeting with the Government shows that
`a point has been reached beyond which it is impossible to rule the
country.'
`I don't want to consider this to be a pre-[presidential]election step
for two reasons. First, the body politic plays a small role in the
elections, and [second,] people are elected in Armenia by making use
of administrative resources and money, and not by being liked by the
society. For a long time, now, the incumbent President wants to change
something in Armenia and he gives instructions to the Government. But
the latter either doesn't want, or is unable, to do that,' Igityan
said.
According to him, if Serzh Sargsyan cannot catch the people in his
entourage, establish law and order within his `family,' and chide his
friends, he must resign.
In his turn, the press conference's other speaker, ruling Republican
Party MP Sukias Avetisyan noted that it is a fabrication to deviate
the meaning behind the President's recent discussion with the
Government, and he stated that he sees no contradiction in the
assessments that were made.
`The last consultation did not refer to the whole economy, but rather
to a part of it, [that is,] to the procurements,' Avetisyan noted.
