ArmInfo."Yelk" electoral alliance intends to return the dream stolen from the citizens of Armenia, Leader of Civil Contract Party Nikol Pashinyan stated at the congress of the bloc on January 21.

"The ruling regime has stolen the dream and hope for better future  from the Armenian people and we intend to return them", Pashinyan  emphasized. The politician also noted that the priority of the bloc  is participation in the upcoming parliamentary elections and in his  opinion they have big chances to win. "We have supporters in all the  communities of Armenia, Armenians of Diaspora support us and we  should meet their expectations", he noted. At the same time the MP  stated that the bloc intends to create a country, to which people  will return instead of emigrating. 

Pashinyan noted that he has realized why the Prime Minister and his  government cannot eradicate monopoly in imports of bananas for 6  months already. "This is because not Mihran Petrosyan owns the  monopoly of bananas import and not Samvel Alexanyan owns sugar  monopoly Serzh Sargsyan personally owns them and he organized the  elections to keep these monopolies", the politician stated  ironically. He also added that in case of victory the bloc will solve  this issue in 47 minutes. 

The politician also stated that he does not believe in the statements  of the Republican Party about the intention to settle Karabakh  conflict in the way beneficial for the Armenian sides. "How can one  believe in good intentions of a regime that has depopulated the  country? How can one talk about mutual compromises if Azerbaijan has  purchased weaponry amounting to $7 bln?", he summarized. 

It was previously reported that the Yelk bloc comprises Civil  Contract Party, Bright Armenia Party, and Republic Party. The bloc's  negotiations with Gyumri-based Gala Party and some members of  Heritage Party are not over yet.
