YEREVAN, JANUARY 24, ARMENPRESS: "I want to become president of
Armenia with your support because I want to make this country a better
place for my and your grandchildren to live in," prime minister Serzh
Sarkisian told a crowd in Spandarian village of the southern province
of Syunik on the second day of his election campaign on Wednesday.
Sarkisian said 20 percent of Armenians are still poor but he added if
a comparison is made with an Armenia 5-10 years ago the differences
are tangible.
He said the government will eradicate poverty by 2012.
In the town of Sisian the prime minister told a crowd of local
residents that a month later they will go to polling stations and
before they cast their ballots they should recall what each of the
presidential candidates has done for this country.
Sarkisian pledged to help double household incomes within five years in
the event of his victory in next month's presidential election. "That
pensions, wages and all other social expenditures, our GDP and state
budget will double by 2012 is beyond doubt," he said.
Sarkisian then traveled to Goris and Kajaran. The latter is home to
the biggest metallurgical plant in Armenia producing molybdenum and
copper. Today he wasto meet with voters in Meghri, Agarak and Kapan.
