Sukiasyan's statement
Deputy candidate Saribek Sukiasyan's statement
"My brother called on me to take this decision"
I am running in the elections for the National Assembly and would like to inform the public about my decision.
First, I think not registering my brother, Khachatur Sukiasyan is illegitimate, a crude violation of human rights and political persecution. This has made voters, the public at large and, of course, us very discontent. I view this as another revenge against Khachatur Sukiasyan due to his political position and believe that I must fight against that injustice by continuing my activities as a deputy.
Secondly, being in parliament was not at all an end in itself for Khachatur. He has several draft laws, legislative initiatives and plans for the economy and would like to see those plans turn into a reality. My brother called on me to take this decision.
Thirdly, everyone knows very well that there has always been big, but civilize\d competition between candidates at the precinct where I am running, and we would like to see the continuation of that established tradition.
Finally, my nomination is to a certain extent a response to the society's demand.
I am certain that if elected, I will work efficiently in the National Assembly. I have great experience in working and leading, have a good understanding of the economy, know the factors that hinder the economy that can be mitigated or eliminated through the improvement and the perfection of the legislation. My professional team of economists and lawyers will help me implement my functions as a deputy.
