Yesterday, the Prime Minister, Hovik Abrahamyan, talking about immigration in Gyumri, spoke out that there is lack of faith and trust in people, because some officials had gone and given promises but failed to fulfill them, therefore a gap has been formed between the government and the people. “He stated correctly. He gave a true diagnosis,” so responded the “Heritage” party board member, Anahit Bakhshyan, in the conversation with Aravot.am, in response to the question of whether the prime minister is speaking from the people’s heart, for just a PR, or is clearing the mistakes of his predecessor. According to the observation by Mrs. Bakhshyan, “Of course, there is an element of PR. But I think that it’s not just PR. He wanted to do, but how he will be able to turn the stance of understanding his people’s grief into practice, I cannot tell. I’m not an economist, but I see our country’s critical economic situation. This can be seen with a naked eye. And he so far wants to appease our people that I understand your situation. Humanly, I do not doubt Hovik Abrahamyan’s willingness, but how he will be able to resolve these issues, I do not know.
There is both PR and a desire. Of course, he would very much like to make steps so that people would say, see, the Prime Minister said and did. He is appointed to this position to do these steps, but it depends on how successful he can be. You know, substituting A with B or C, I do not think that our expectations will become real, regardless of what he wants. I believe that Hovik Abrahamyan is willing. Any normal leader dreams about his people talk good of him, and tell that he understood our sufferings and helped us. But whether he will be successful, I highly doubt.” Today, Hovik Abrahamyan had accepted Nairit plant employees demonstrating in front of the Government building, and in addition to the promise of releasing 1 month salary, he gave one more promise, to clarify until the end of August who are guilty of the problems raised in “Nairit” plant. Since the former Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan’s name is touched upon in bankruptcy of “Nairit” plant, to our question of whether Hovik Abrahamyan is willing to confront Tigran Sargsyan, or he really does not know who are to blame for “Nairit” plant’s problems, Anahit Bakhshyan responded, “Of he really does not know, then it is too bad. But, on the other hand, he cannot but know and cannot say in public that he knows. In doing this, he extends and now he has to think about how to get out from his words. I am sure that he knows very well what machinations had happened. He just cannot publicize what has happened. He cannot say. I do not believe that this government, headed by Hovik Abrahamyan, may do something against Tigran Sargsyan, because as people say, they are interdependent to each other. Even if he has such an intention, I do not think that he will be allowed to do it. It’s another thing that he would be very much willing to do it. He is willing to do it, but his move will not be encouraged. Thus, he puts a soft pillow under the heads of Nairit plant employees, by sending them home until he sees what he can do.”
