SARKISSIAN IS GRATEFUL TO SOCIOLOGY
Support A1+!Today Armenia's Prime Minister and presidential candidate Serzh Sarkissian refuted the statements of the All-Armenian National Movement (HHSh) according to which he started giving out bribes from the reserve funds of the Central Bank of Armenia.
“The rumors do not correspond to reality. All those who are somewhat familiar with what the reserves of the Central Bank mean, will say that it is simply impossible. I’m sure that by February 19 we shall hear things that are impossible to see in nightmares. But what can we do? Perhaps, that is HHSh's opinion about the state. There is no use making comments,” the Prime Minister said.
Serzh Sarkissian also turned to the results of the survey conducted by the Gallup according to which Serzh Sarkissian’s rating is much higher than that of the other eight candidates.
The Prime Minister attaches more importance to the fact that public opinion polls reveal the moods of the society and call attention to the issues of public importance. Public opinion surveys are extremely useful in this regard, Serzh Sarkissian says. “Armenia has been using the experience of polls for a long time already. I’m grateful to all those organizations, which pay, conduct and provide us with these valuable materials.”
As for ARF Dashnaktsutiun member and presidential nominee Vahan Hovhannissian's statement that he doesn't trust “Gallup” polls, Sarkissian said, “I am convinced that he does not believe polling results otherwise he would surrender or at least ease his rough stance. One may believe all tales about Serzh Sarkissian and ignore sociology. But people's distrust will hardly affect sociology. The point is that foreigners get an impression about our country from political figures' statements.
