Levon Ter-Petrosyan ready to join election race (video)
Armenia’s first President Levon Ter-Petrosyan is ready to join the election campaign. He will lead the list of the Armenian National Congress (HAK), Head of the HAK parliamentary faction Levon Zurabyan said on December 9. “We do not exclude negotiations with other figures but at this moment I do not see anyone,” he said. If the HAK wins the elections, the force promises to significantly increase pensions, reduce gas tariffs by 25 percent and leave only five taxes from the current 15. How could this happen? “Business capital flows away from Armenia to other countries, including Georgia. We will make sure that it remains in Armenia. Moreover, thanks to the simplified tax, shadow economy will come to light,” Levon Zurabyan said. The HAK lawmaker also commented on the prime minister’s latest statements. "Karen Karapetyan announced in Gyumri that there is no monopoly in Armenia. Now I declare that there is no government led by Karen Karapetyan in Armenia. You will not believe it. Why should we believe that there is no monopoly in Armenia then? By the way, Levon Ter-Petrosyan will address the HAK congress to be held on December 17.
