"BIG FISH" ARE VULNERABLE AND WEAK
- Dwelling on Serzh Sargsyan's assessment and reprimand to the government during the consultations with the ministers, secretary of Heritage party Styopa Safaryan told Lragir.am that the assessment of the president was right. According to Styopa Safaryan, the system of kickbacks functioning in Armenia has been crucial for a number of businessmen. He would like to see concrete steps aimed at winning the trust of the population and inspiring hope that it is meaningful to live in this country and that they are protected. Asked whether the current government has the necessary political will to fight corruption and kickbacks, Styopa Safaryan said that the president's speech was evidence of the existence of the political will; at least the president has it. Hence, the government has nothing else to do but to realize that will, said Safaryan. He noted at the same time that he would believe that Serzh Sargsyan's speech was not a political propaganda if he didn't understand that this country with the current system is unable to go on. "I would like to believe that the president realizes this fact because it is evident that there are difficulties to fill the deficit of the budget these months. Besides, perhaps they realize that in this region, where Armenia is blockaded, our country has no other way that to become a competitive state", said Safaryan. Dwelling on Serzh Sargsyan's appeal to take the "big fish", Styopa Safaryan noted that it is the society to render the "big fish" monsters. In reality, they are very vulnerable. "I don't call on taking revenge but they just need to understand that they should play within certain rules and passing them would be punished", says Heritage secretary.
