YEREVAN. – Armenia enters 2012 political life with exceptional heavy burden, parliamentary opposition ARF Dashnaktsutyun MP Lilit Galstyan said at a press conference on Wednesday.

“All political powers have their share of guilt,” she said pointing out large serious corruption registered in the country. She also stressed that external debt to GDP ratio made over 40%. “Other issues are democracy in retreat and emigration. All this threatens our national security,” she added.

“Unless Armenia secures fair and free elections, we will have the reality of 2008,” ARFD MP concluded.
