Yerevan (Yerkir) - Vahan Hovhannesian, a member of the ARF Bureau,
was campaigning in Kotayk Region on January 6, starting his campaign
from the village of Proshian.
Addressing those gathered, Ruzan Arakelian, a member of the ARF faction
in parliament, said that the coming five years would be very important,
so the ARF is trusting a person, who is capable of leading the country
with honor.
She said that Hovhannesian's platform is realistic in all sectors. She
said that electing Hovhannesian is the right choice.
Hovhannesian said in his speech that this village is the birthplace
of many heroes, many of whom are his friends, and that their legacies
would never be forgotten.
"You, people of Proshian, were among the first who realized that
it takes patriots to liberate the homeland," he said. "We did not
have much hope then because the enemy had advantages in weapons
and they were supported by Moscow. We took rifles against tanks and
won. But where are we now? Let's not blame all this injustice on the
authorities only, we too are to blame because we did not realize that
justice does not always come with independence. There is a situation
now that roots in the past and bears bitter fruits now."
He said that while we are always told that Armenia is continuously
developing, that we have economic growth, but do people in Proshian
feel that development? Of course, not. And it is the system to blame
because it helps the rich to become richer and the poor to become
poorer.
"Do you want individuals to change or do you want the system to
change? The old authorities cannot carry out positive changes because
they are the founders of this faulty system. Only I am able to really
reform this system. Only I am able to really reform this system because
I am not linked to military or criminal circles. I have commitments and
I am ready to carry them out."
