ArmInfo. In general, the situation in Armenia is developing for the better, but not at the pace that we all would like to see, lawmaker of the Armenian parliament from the "My Step" bloc Tigran Ulikhanyan expressed such an opinion to ArmInfo.
"As a member of parliament, I can point out our obvious shortcomings. At the same time, I am aware of the impossibility of managing the state machine without flaws. There is always a risk of making a wrong decision. The role of the opposition is important in bringing such erroneous decisions to the parliament or some other public platforms for discussion. We, in turn, can accept them or not, but in any case we must bear political responsibility for them, "he stressed.
Commenting on the regional activity of the leader of the PAP Gagik Tsarukyan and his statements that "the current government has a very short time left", Ulikhanyan urged the citizens of Armenia to be more attentive to such statements. Moreover, over time, assess the political value of such statements and weed out "political talkers", primarily in their own interests. At least in order to stop seeing and listening to speeches that are not worth a dime.
Thus, according to the parliamentarian, the solution lies in giving appropriate assessment by the people to certain politicians on the basis of familiarity with them and their programs. All this, in Ulikhanyan's opinion, will allow the society to independently filter the available political resource, filtering out political rubbish. It is this screening, according to his forecasts, that will become the most important step in the coming years, since it will lead to a healthier political field.
According to Ulikhanyan's estimates, today everyone can see perfectly well that where there should be institutional opposition, there is only an open field. And this is not good for a 30-year-old statehood. However, this field is free for everyone who is ready for political self-expression. The only condition is that you need to express yourself as part of a political party, not a gang.
