HAK Unveils Outlines of Economic “Reform” Package

Levon Zurabyan, a representative of the opposition HAK political alliance, presented a broad outline of the organization’s economic platform entitled "100 Steps" and said that the full program will soon be unveiled to the public. Mr. Zurabyan said the program offers specific solutions and mechanisms to develop the ailing Armenian economic sector and to create a level competitive playing field for Armenian citizens. "The program aims to structurally transform the current economic system, where resources and opportunities are monopolized by a few oligarchs, to one where large numbers of average Armenians can successfully participate in business and enjoy the support of the government," Mr. Zurabyan declared. The program is the work of HAK’s economic commission, headed by former RoA Prime Minister Hrant Bagratyan. Mr. Zurabyan stated that for the current regime to implement the "100 Step Program" it would mean committing "suicide" for it would open up the closed economy to broad-based competition and that this goes against the wishes of the government. "Hetq" asked Mr. Zurabyan about the possibility of implementing the program if HAK were to come to power. "This is a very realistic program. The Armenian economy is headed to ruin if it isn’t implemented. What isn’t realistic is to believe that the current regime can be preserved forever."
