ANC-PPA Bloc presented its view on development of Armenia

ArmInfo. The ANC-PPA Bloc presented 

its program of development of Armenia where are written in details 

the "realistic steps" for creation of an exemplary model of the 

state, which serves to its people by providing security, freedom and 

welfare.

The basis of this model, as is indicated in the first paragraph of 

the program, on peace, harmony and good neighborly relations should 

be based, in particular, the imperative to overcoming the blockade 

and conflicts with its neighbors in the name of security of Armenia 

and NKR. The establishment of peace will allow Armenia to become a 

member of the regional programs, will help to attract investments, 

create jobs and improve the country's economic activity. Present-day 

Armenia, as stated in the second paragraph of the program called "The 

state as a tool for development" inherent negative attitude to 

business. "The interests of only a very narrow circle of affiliated 

entities serves the state, the rest are deprived from these 

fundamental rights, as the right to liberty, the right to property 

and the legal protection of the individual.

"State for all", is noted in the 3rd paragraph of the program. 

According to the authors, the success of reaching those countries 

which serve the interests of all citizens, rather than the narrow 

circle of officials.  The state should be above all this and create a 

comfortable, secure and equal conditions for all.

Armenia should become a state built on the rule of dignity, noted the 

authors of the program. The head of that State must be intelligent 

and respectable people with the necessary experience. Must prevail 

principles of competition, transparency and publicity so that 

everyone had a chance to take high positions in the state 

administration system in the conditions of free competition.

To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the ANC-PPA Bloc proposes 

concrete steps in the spheres. In the areas of foreign policy and 

security, the bloc calls for consistent steps for rapid 

implementation of the program proposed by the OSCE Minsk Group in 

2007 and adopted by the NKR authorities, in parallel ensuring the 

return of the NKR to the negotiation table. It is also necessary to 

normalize relations with Turkey, thus eliminating the creation of the 

interstate commission, which may call into question the fact of the 

Armenian Genocide.

In the areas of health and social welfare the Bloc offers to increase 

the size of the average pension throughout the year to 55 thousand 

drams, and over the next 5 years up to 40% of the average wage. 

In order to ensure the principles of freedom and democracy, the 

program's authors consider it necessary to identify and punish those 

responsible for the March 1 events, holding fair elections, the 

rejection of preferential voting and ensuring a return to the 

presidential model of governance.
