The more staff changes are made by the government the better for us, Levon Zurabyan, coordinator of the Armenian National Congress, said asked by NEWS.am correspondent to comment on the recent government reshuffle.

He noted that if authorities’ regime is dictatorship they cannot shift to democratic system. “All such governments rest on oligarchic groups and criminal world. There should be a government based on assistance of people,” he noted. According to him, today’s vicious system is so deep-rooted that reforms would meet with great resistance.

Speaking of Karen Karapetyan’s appointment to the post of Yerevan Mayor, Zurabyan said that he will use the same corruption schemes as he used to being ArmRusgazprom director. He recalled that ANC filed a lawsuit against unsubstantiated increase in gas prices. “All this was done when Karapetyan was top manager of the company. Should we think that he would create a system meeting citizens’ expectations? No, of course,” Zurabyan added.
