S. Sargsyan: “ “Heritage”’s goal is to discredit”
The comments in leader of "Heritage" Party Raffi Hovhannisian's official letter addressed to Serzh Sargsyan are aimed at discrediting the electoral processes that the Armenian government has begun.
This is what Serzh Sargsyan announced during a press conference in Gavar today.
"Unfortunately, Raffi Hovhannisian has not made the statement with pain and the goal to improve political processes or more specifically electoral processes in Armenia, but to simply discredit the processes that have begun. As you know, our goal is to hold very good elections. International observers rated the last two elections, including the presidential and parliamentary elections as elections that mainly corresponded to international standards. Our goal is to remove the word "mainly" and make the elections correspond to international standards," he said.
That is why, according to Serzh Sargsyan, several reforms have been made in the Electoral Code, and European and other partners have given their consent.
"We not only have the goal, but we are also taking concrete steps. I think nothing can stand in our way, and we will move foward with firm steps. We will not only elections in the best way, but also all political processes without paying attention to people filled with evil. We will try to improve everything, and I think everyone will be convinced of that," he said.
We remind that recently leader of "Heritage" Party Raffi Hovhannisian sent an official letter to head of state, leader of the Republican Party of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan in which he particularly demanded that the people holding state offices to resigin from the offices of president of board of trustees and other offices and that the university academic councils become non-partisan in order to hold free and fair elections.
We mention that Serzh Sargsyan today visited Gegharkunik province to take part in the opening of the Children's Development and Recovery Center of Gavar Medical Center and Arabkir Medical Complex in Gavar city of Gegharkunik province.
