YEREVAN, April 9 (Itar-Tass) - New Armenian President Serzh Sarkisyan
said he intends to be a head of state who will give Armenia peace
and stability.
In his inauguration speech on Wednesday, Sarkisyan said Armenia "will
continue pursuing an active and initiative foreign policy. It will
do its best to ensure a lasting peace and achieve a fair, peaceful
and prosperous settlement in Nagorno-Karabakh."
"We'll build a strong, proud and democratic state of Armenia where
all is equal under the law," the new Armenian president stressed.
Sarkisyan expressed gratitude to the former president, Robert
Kocharyan, "a person who takes a permanent place in the Armenian
history". Sarkisyan said he is convinced that new generations
would appreciate Kocharyan's contribution "to the development and
strengthening of statehood".
Addressing the people who voted for him, Sarkisyan noted, "We
had the right to vote not for me. But I'm your president." He
called compatriots for consolidating the state that "will open new
opportunities for moving towards democracy". The president said he
"is ready to exert maximum effort to reach mutual understanding in
the society in order to get rid off polarisation, gross collisions
and dirt".
Sarkisyan called for "building Armenia, which will be homeland for all
Armenians where the atmosphere of mutual respect, love and tolerance
reigns and where our citizens and every family live worthily".
