We believe that each person is born free and must have the opportunity
to live free and develop, pursuing his or her own personal, familial,
public and national goals, President of Armenia and Chairman of RPA
Serzh Sargsyan said, addressing the 13th Convention of RPA.
The President said, `All mentioned levels are important and
interrelated. A person cannot be honest and virtuous on one level at
the expense of other levels. A person cannot be honest and virtuous in
his or her family at the public's and the nation's expense. A person
cannot build his or her own personal and family happiness, robbing and
depriving the public and the nation; stealing from the public and the
nation means stealing from oneself, from one's own family.
We believe that our society should develop in an environment of a free
competition. However, free competition must not translate into the
advantage for big money as it cannot translate into an opportunity for
the very same big money to suppress and consume other competitors.'
`We also believe that family is the foremost and the strongest citadel
which safeguards our national existence: it is our traditional and
conservative family where the young respect and listen to the elderly,
whose pillars are the wife and the mother. However, `listen' doesn't
mean to be a hostage to the will of the elderly and `the pillar of the
family' doesn't mean a prisoner of the kitchen,' said Serzh Serzh
Sargsyan adding that it is best proved by the increasing presence of
women and young people in the ranks of the Party.
`Compared to our previous conventions, there are more women and young
people in this hall. And we will do our best to preserve and develop
this tendency of their increased participation. We will combine the
experience and knowledge of the elder with the vigor and enthusiasm of
the young, with the dedication and traditionalism of the women, and
together we will build a new Armenia - for us all and for each one of
us,' said the President.
Serzh Sargsyan concluded, `We also believe that our public is much
more than a simple mechanical gathering of people. We believe that a
nation is much more than the people of a common character bonded by a
social contract. We believe that that social contract is more based on
the spirit of the nation rather than on the letter of the contract.'
