    ArmInfo. President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan has participated in
    the official oath ceremony of the newly elected Mayor of Yerevan
    Gagik Beglaryan.

    In his speech, the president congratulated Gagik Beglaryan and
    all the representatives of the Council of Elders of Yerevan. 'As a
    resident of Yerevan I am glad for setting up of this supreme body. I
    wish you strength, a fruitful work and justification of hopes of your
    electors', the president emphasized. According to Sargsyan, we shall
    be able to further organize good election and disroot the vicious
    phenomena. 'We have to learn lessons from these election. Moreover,
    we must hold the following election in an organized manner for our
    people and the world community to appreciate them not as 'meet in
    general', but 'fully meet', the president said. He also said the
    Constitutional right to form a power through elections in our system
    of values should be an indisputable fact.

    'The election should not be a trial for our state but an exam of the
    need in the authorities' and political forces' election programmes -
    this is our goal', the Armenian president said. He also emphasized that
    he has great expectations from the newly elected mayor. 'We expect
    for a new working style. The new mayor should not be just a head but
    a leader responsible for both success and failures. The mayor should
    observe all the laws, be closer to the people and love the capital
    residents with all his heart', the president emphasized. Sargsyan is
    sure that Gagik Beglaryan will be able to become such a mayor. 'Nice
    traditions have been already formed in Yerevan which should be
    preserved. But there are also vicious phenomena which are still
    developing mechanically', - the president said and as an example
    presented the fact how in Yerevan pedestrians often break traffic
    rules. 'These are not ins and outs. The city culture starts from such
    things. Over the last several months I allow myself to make a tour in
    Yerevan by car late at night. I think that drivers' attitude to the
    traffic rules has changed much, but unfortunately, the pedestrians'
    attitude has not changed at all. They break traffic rules and often
    blame drivers for that.

    Such attitude should become a subject of serious work for us', -
    Serzh Sargsyan said and added that the capital city is a visit card
    of every republic.
