Economic policy of RA government not relevant to current situation

"At the moment the coalition government in Armenia is in hard condition and needs change," Hrayr Karapetyan , chairman of the RA NA Standing Committee on Defense, Internal Affairs and Security, MP from ARF Dashnaktsutyun group told a news conference in Yerevan.

According to Mr. Karapetyan, both the people and country’s leadership are dissatisfied with the socio-economic policy of the government.

"A half-hearted socio-economic measures, like slight increase in pensions and benefits are not adequate to the current situation in the country, so the government's economic policies are not relevant to the current realities in the country," he said.

He said, the president of Armenia must take radical measures to improve the situation, otherwise the country may undergo great social shakes.

Answering a question of PanARMENIAN.Net, whether ARF would require the government's resignation if the economic situation in the country does not improve in the future, Mr. Karapetyan stressed, the resignation of the government cannot solve anything, the policy and the political course of the executive should be changed.
