YEREVAN, JULY 10, NOYAN TAPAN. PACE new Resolution N 1677 on Armenia adopted at the June session is evidence that the home political crisis has not been overcome in the country yet. Former NA Speaker, independent deputy Tigran Torosian expressed such an opinion at the July 10 press conference. In his words, the Resolution's content makes it clear that Armenia has not fulfilled the demands made in the former resolutions. In that context, according to T. Torosian, it is not understandable how the Co-chairs used the word combination "a step forward" in their conclusion. Speaking about Armenia's home political sphere, the former NA Speaker said that country's multi-party system is degradated. In T. Torosian's affirmation, capable political forces of new quality are needed to correct the situation and to solve the most important problems faced by the state. Speaking about fall of Armenia's economy, T. Torosian said that its reason is not only the world financial-economic crisis, but also the economic policy carried on by the state and the imperfection of new laws. In connection with the amnesty granted on June 19 T. Torosian said that it "was not the way society expected" and cannot weaken political tension.
