“These authorities have destroyed the country. I am thinking that if some 8 years ago, 10 of them had come together to think what actions to make to cause so much harm to Armenia, believe me, they could not be so much successful,” said Vartan Oskanian during the campaign of ORO alliance in Vayk. According to him, given the fact that man is fallible, in that case, they would at least have done something wrong and would have made a good actions but now, no one can say that these authorities have had a success in one matter, “I do not want to be in the position of a complainant but there is no such thing. Our foreign debt was only 1.7 billion, GDP – 11.7 billion, our GDP has not increased but decreased. I do not know how this can be explained than the fact that people have deliberately worked against Armenia.”
One of the residents of Vayk exclaimed, “How were the things from Kocharyan’s tenure? Was it good? Oskanian did not respond. He continued his speech, saying that we are stepped back on the Karabakh conflict, our international rating has fallen, earlier, we were a semi-authoritarian country, now we are an authoritarian country, the press was partly free, now it is unfree. Addressing the Karabakh conflict, Oskanian said that the issue can always be resolved in favor of Azerbaijan, they are already talking about the return of the territories but their trio excludes the return of the territories, it excludes even talking about it. He assured that it is possible to develop both the economy, have a strong army and achieve the fair solution of the issue of the Karabakh people.
