NOT BY WORDS BUT BY DEEDS
- By the overwhelming majority of the votes (87-for, 3-against and 1-abstaining), the Parliament expressed confidence in the government headed by Tigran Sargsyan, approving the action plan for the forthcoming 5 years: “pretentious”, “ambitious” but still “painful” for some people.
Before that the MPs and the representatives of all the 5 fractions expressed their standpoints regarding the action plan of the government.
On behalf of “Orinats Yerkir” party Heghine Bisharyan proposed absolute support to the “audacious and pretentious” program. Stressing the importance of the formation of the institute of responsibility she assured: “Our political team is going to be consistent in supporting the government and we will do our best to put into practice the program we approved. It is a government of a new start. Consequently, with the confirmation of those steps we must switch on the clock of the new start.”
Head of ARFD fraction Hrayr Karapetyan mentioned in his turn: “ Not all the proposals made by Dashnaktsutyun party are included in the government’s action plan. In general it is not possible to include the programs of all the political powers of the coalition in this program. In that case there would have been one party, and one political power in Armenia, with all the bad consequences deriving from it.
In our view the priorities declared by the government must suit all the political powers considering themselves bearers of the national ideology, including Dashnaktsutyun.”
Vardan Bostanjyan expressed the attitude of “Bargavach Hayastan” party: “We must wish success to the government for implementing similar program. It is of high quality and correct and we must welcome and vote for it.”
He also brought the attention of the MPs on “certain priorities covered in the program” that in many cases don’t go beyond the form of beautiful words. Like, for example, increase of the quality of governance, fighting protégé and bureaucracy, free rivalry, assistance to entrepreneurs, etc.
The speech of the representative of the Republican Party Artak Davtyan was laconic and to the point. “Formation of effective governing system, development of education and science, proportional territorial development, social protection of our citizens, these are the priorities declared in the program. It is only in case of the implementation of those priorities that we can have a qualitatively different country in 2012.
Taking into account this fact, as well as attaching importance to the fact that the digital index of the program submitted by the government is the minimum value recorded in the pre-election program of the President, the implementation of this program requires great power and devotion from each member of the government.
That is why by saying, “yes” to the action plan of the government RPA faction appeals to the coalition partners to avoid party-addiction, which according to Garegin Njdeh “must be uprooted from the guidelines of our political figures and parties. Their role must mainly be the unification of our people around the realization of state and pan-national programs, being guided by moral principles and standards.”
According to the evaluation of the Speaker of NA Tigran Torosyan the government action plan is not only “very ambitious” but it is very “special for our country. During the period before the submission of the program, unfortunately, we revealed various flaws, that still exist this or that way and I don’t think that tomorrow they will be completely annihilated.
People are mostly concerned about this or that personality than the approaches and standards submitted by the government. For around 5 decades they appointed people in different positions and then dismissed, by different methods – ordered articles discrediting, and libeling them. It is a really serious issue and serious challenge. Maybe some people have become accustomed to this working style, but this is the principal flaw existing in the society.”
The Prime Minister summarized the discussion by the principled approaches of his team and Serge Sargsyan: “We are going to implement changes and we will start from ourselves. This program is “pro-governmental”. We will reveal the failures and propose solutions.”
He also added: “The way you trust our words, I would like to assure you that the same way, we trust you. Your moral assistance is more binding than the criticism heard, all the time, in our address. And we must try to prove with our work that your moral assistance is to the point. We really need that assistance, because it is a good way to unite for healthy cooperation.
I would like to assure you that there will be no difference between our words and deeds. We are really interested in strengthening the rights of the opposition by law, because we can’t have a strong government without a strong and constructive opposition.”
