When President Serzh Sargsyan first addressed the people and the
National Assembly on October 2, 2008, he said the addresses would
be periodical. Many events have taken place in Armenia ever since,
which require al least the comments of the President, if not to
say answers. Has the time matured for the second presidential
address? Which are the questions to be addressed?
Press Secretary of the Republican Party of Armenia, MP Edward
Sharmazanov said: "I think there should be an address within the
coming months. I don't mean it should take place today, tomorrow,
or this month, but in my opinion, there will be a new address within
the coming months."
Will it precede or follow the elections to the Yerevan City Council? "I
don't think the President's addresses are linked to this or that
political process. Presidential addressed are usually connected
with the moral-psychological and other situations in the country,"
Sharmazanov said.
According to the Head of the "Heritage" faction Armen Martirisyan,
the President of the Republic should address the people only when
he has something important to say and in case it marks the start of
a new process, be it political, economic or public. "At this point,
we, naturally, have many questions, about which the President should
have a say," he noted.
