THE REPUBLICANS DON’T SUFFER FROM PARTY-ADDICTION
Member of the “Republican” Parliamentary Faction Artak Davtyan answers the questions of the correspondent of “Hayots Ashkharh” daily.
“The day before, when from the NA tribune you were expressing the standpoints of your fraction regarding the government’s action plan you stressed the importance of refusing party-addiction. Does this mean; the beautiful words about the supremacy of the state interests are veils to move forward the party-affectations?”
“If we consider secondary the interests of the state, and the national, state programs underlined in the coalition cooperation and be guided by narrow party interests, we will unequivocally jeopardize the implementation of the government’s action plan.
Of course personal skin is closer, but it is high time to unite our people, and why not the protestant electorate as well, those who voted for the extra-parliamentary powers, around the state problems. This is the very principle, the Republican Party has always been guided by: to be based on the idea of national solidarity while forming the government.
That is why I quoted Garegin Njdeh: saying that party-addiction is a great evil; he was exhorting to refuse that mode of action. The Republican Party has well prepared cadres. That’s why we can nominate several worthy candidates for different positions. The President of the Republic, possesses the whole human resource bank of the party, and in my view, everyone knows that we don’t have any problem linked with the human resource potential.
We have started the process of uprooting party-addiction from ourselves. That is why we give ourselves the right to voice this from NA tribune.
“In your estimation does the government’s action plan answer the purpose of overcoming the internal and external challenges faced by the country?”
“In my view it is a balanced program. It is possible to include the impossible in one document: to represent the mechanisms of the solution of all the issues, the succession of all the steps and the exact schedule. The most important thing is that the government’s action plan clearly enshrines the key targets and priorities, the implementation of which will lead us to a qualitatively new country in 2012.
Particularly the conversation is about the formation of the middle class, because the high economic growth recorded during the recent years is far not satisfactory to mitigate the social polarization. In different countries in Latin America, for many years they ensured high economic growth, in conditions of emphasized social polarization. This implies estrangement of the different layers of society, which usually turns into enmity and hatred.
In such conditions it is senseless to speak about social agreement and building civil society. That is why in my statement I brought the attention of the government on the fact that in parallel with the high tempo of economic growth, by every year we must try to improve Jin Coefficient of the income distribution, so that rich people won’t become richer and the poor – poorer. Otherwise the second-generation reforms will be an end in itself.”
“What is the difference between this government program and the previous one?”
“Firstly I must record that this program is based on the fundamental clauses of the previous one. It is not right to say that the conversation is about revolutionary changes. Of course there are certain new accentuations, taking into account the new coalition format and the priorities enshrined in Serge Sargsyan’s pre-election program.
After all one year has passed after the parliamentary elections, new problems have appeared during this period of time, the expectations of the society have changed and many issues have become priorities. The conversation is mainly about the atmosphere of trust between the authorities and the society. This is the fundamental pledge, due to which the government can overcome the challenges faced by the country.
It is also essential, that the digital index of the economic growth is based on not the nominal but the real growth of the GDP. This means the real increase of prices and the deflator of the GDP is neutralized by the growth of income.
By giving vote of confidence to the government, during the coming months we must implement a serious legislative activity. If we fail to ensure corresponding legislative field we will not be able to realize all this. The parliament and the government must coordinate their work, to be able to implement the reforms, enshrined in the government’s action plan.
I must mention that there is something common between the action plans of the ruling and the former governments: both are based on the concept of the national security. Which means we must bring our legislation in conformity with the strategy of the national security.”
