SERGE SARGSIAN: "AUTHORITY OF FUTURE PRESIDENT OF ARMENIA IS TOO
IMPORTANT FOR ME"
YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 7, NOYAN TAPAN. "The authority of the future
President of Armenia is too dear and too important for me and I will do
my best for the future President of Armenia to be authoritative," Serge
Sargsian, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia and a candidate
running for presidency, stated in the February 6 sitting of the RA
National Assembly in response to the question of Zaruhi Postanjian, a
member of the Zharangutiun (Heritage) party.
Touching upon the observation of the MP, according to which people, in
particular teachers of schools of general education, are forcedly
brought to his pre-electoral meetings, Serge Sargsian mentioned that as
a result of a simple calculation of the teachers of schools in any
community "a modest number" appears. "Do we really need that modest
number to arouse dissatisfaction among people?" the Prime MInister
said. In the words of Serge Sargsian, they know the "songs" about
forced participants in the rallies very well.
Referring to another observation, according to which since the moment
of the registration of the RA Electoral Code the candidates running for
the post of the RA President in state service are to temporarily be
released from the performance of their working duties, Serge Sargsian
stated that it does not apply to the post of the Prime Minister, as it
is a political one. "If anybody had doubts, he/she could apply to the
constitutional Court, to the Administrative Court and those courts
could make those decisions," he said.
