Levon Shirinyan: The party "The Christian-National Revival" will  defend the ideas of the velvet revolution in case of going to  parliament

ArmInfo.We are going to enter the parliament in order to defend the ideas of the velvet revolution, prevent the return of the old regime and revive the cultural policy  in Armenia. This was stated on November 15 at a press conference by  the head of the Christian-National Revival party, political scientist  Levon Shirinyan.

He noted that during the campaign, representatives of the party will  visit the regions of Armenia in order to familiarize themselves with  the most pressing problems and draw up a plan for solving them. "We  are the party of the whole people - peasants, workers, scientists,  that is, for all citizens of Armenia. Officially, the campaign begins  on November 26, but we have already started to represent our party  through press conferences and interviews, so that the population of  the country will know what we are And we already have quite a few  voters who understand and value our ideas. I want to emphasize that  we are an alternative to the government, and now we should not divide  everyone into opposition and power ", Shirinyan stressed, noting that  if the ''CNR'' is passed to the parliament, it will direct the  government if it goes astray and protect the ideas of the velvet  revolution.

According to him, the ideal for the country will be a strong  parliament and moderate power of the Prime Minister. "It is necessary  to form such a parliament where the right, left and centrists will  be, not the government and the opposition. We want to break the  vicious circle that was in Armenia before and reject such phenomena  as giving out electoral bribes, employment of relatives to the  authorities. We believe that this should be abandoned. As for our  economic program, we support a social market economy. We believe that  in our country there should not be poor and oligarchs, and most of  society should be rich. We are also in favor of the revival of the  industrial sector ", the political scientist said.

He also said that the difference of the party he leads from others is  that they want to promote the program of cultural civilization.  Shirinyan noted that this program will lead to an increase in public  awareness. "That is, we want to develop the cultural values of the  country and revive the Armenian high culture," he said.

At the same time, the political scientist assured that for him and  his team it would not be a tragedy if the CNR fails to pass to  parliament. "However, I want to note that we will not stop our  activities on this, we will continue to study the problems existing  in society and create professional groups that will write programs to  solve actual problems. In addition, we will begin to cooperate with  the business sphere in order to achieve progress in the country's  economy, "- said the analyst.

Shirinyan noted that educational staff, taxi drivers, representatives  of culture whose talent was not appreciated, as well as people  working in industry will become its main voters.
