''PROFESSIONAL ARMY, LOW TAXES, 100 THOUSAND EMPLOYMENT PLACES''

''New Armenia based on new opportunities and new relations for everybody,'' this is the slogan that Arthur Baghdasaryan will be guided. Today, on the first day of the elections, he presented his election program. In the words of the chairman of Orinats Yerkir (OYeK), the election program includes provision on all aspects of the Armenian reality. However, he underscored several by which his program differs from all others. Baghdasaryan said in case he is elected as the Armenian president, 100 thousand work places will open in the course of 5 years, each year with 20 thousand employment places. He said production and export must be boosted and those companies that will open new work places will get tax benefits. The next provision in OYeK chairman's program is the idea of professional army. Baghdasaryan said in case he wins, the system will be watchfully introduced. He said the problem of new employment places will also be tackled with contract service. He said the professional army will bring to a situation that mature adults will go to the army and will get paid for their work instead of 18 years old children. OYeK chairman also spoke about boosting housing construction saying in Armenia only elite houses are built which has nothing to do with large sectors of the society. He said if in Russian mortgage is given on 30-50 years and on 8-10 interests, in Armenia both the interest is higher and the credit period is shorter. Baghdasaryan promises to lower the taxes. ''Many countries have increased their budgets by lowering the taxes,'' he mentioned saying the opposite is going on in Armenia. Baghdasaryan suggests low interest credits to cover tuition fees.
