Free Democrats member distrusts Armenia=?UTF-8?B?4oCZ?=s ruling party

At a meeting with journalists on Monday, Anoush Sedrakyan, a member of the Free Democrats party, had a debate with Vardan Aivazyan, an MP of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA). 
At the press conference she said she continues disbelieving Aivazyan. The reason for her disbelieving the RPA is its "political elite" involved in the formation of Armenia's ruling coalition.Sedrakyan does not believe the coalition format as the Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) is involved in the coalition "heart and soul.""It will be clear after the PAP has declared itself to be an opposition force, which, I am sure, it will never do. Quite another matter if the PAP yielded its economic levers. It is easy to yield somebody else's position, but not one's own economic levers," Sedrakyan said. This is a scenario of one more agreement, when the authorities bring the opposition to power, she concluded.In response, Vardan Aivazyan said: "Are we playing mafia? What does it mean 'yielding economic levers?'""The only thing they have to do is to stop tax dodging," Sedrakyan said.Aivazyan disagreed with his opponent. True, dominant economic entities are oper ating in Armenia, but there is no shadow economy in the country, he said.Aivazyan claimed that businessmen are not in Armenia's newly formed parliament. However, after a few examples were cited, he said that they MPs handed their businesses over to other managers.   Read more... (233 words)
