“I SHALL NEVER STAND BEFORE ARMENIANS WITH A HANGING HEAD”

Support A1+!

Residents of Malatsia-Sebastia community received presidential candidate Serzh Sarkissian rather “coldly” today.

Probably, the main reason for it was that most of the presentees were schoolchildren who had rather come to see their favourite singers than get familiarized with Serzh Sarkissian’s pre-election programme.

One could also see employees of Malatsia fair among the presentees who had been forced to attend the meeting.

Armenian pop-singers entertained the presentees before Serzh Sarkissian’s addressing speech. When finally the Prime Minister showed up, the crowd began dispersing.

The Prime Minister said he had never dodged responsibility and would never shirk it. “I shall never stand with a hanging head before the Armenian people,” he said.

Afterwards, Serzh Sarkissian presented some economic figures. “Armenia’s external debt mounts one milliard 360 million dollars today.”

According to the Prime Minister the sum is not great if compared with those of other countries.

The Prime minister reiterated that “there is only one official of Karabakh decent in Armenia.” “To tell the truth, the Artsakh people may scold me for my stance. But they know quite well that while designating someone I take into account two characteristics-professional skills and humane qualities.

The Prime Minister’s speech was occasionally interrupted by shouts, “Onward, Armenia!”
