YEREVAN. - The residents of many Armenian towns and villages seemed to be intimidated and didn’t take proper interest in the programs and ideas of the Communist Party of Armenia during the first seven days of the election campaign.  

Deputy candidate of the United Communist Party of Armenia, Vazgen Safaryan, said the aforementioned on Monday within the framework of the extended format session of the party.  

In his words, during the recent week the representatives of the Communist Party have visited a number of Armenian towns and villages, where they met with the residents and presented them their program. However, there was no interest and inspiration from the side of the people. According to the party representatives, the people seemed to be intimidated. However, those who attended the meetings with the communists listened attentively to their proposals on how to introduce into the modern world and the world of future all the best that used to be in the past, i.e. free education for everyone, free apartments for the young, etc.

“Mainly people who appreciated the Soviet Armenia and who built it through their labor turn to us,” Safaryan said.

In his words, it will not be difficult to return to Armenia everything good that existed during the socialist regime: in case of organizing the country’s economy correctly it will be possible to find funds also for free education and free medicine.

“Our program is aimed at ensuring 7-8 percent annual economic growth. We will be able to achieve this through the development of industry and internal cooperation ties,” Safaryan said.

On Monday, the Communist Party representatives gathered in Yerevan to discuss the first week of the election campaign and determined their future plans.
