Armenian president re-elected as Republican Party leader
YEREVAN March 10
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan was re-elected as the leader of the
Republican Party at its congress on Saturday, March 9.
"We are a national conservative party that advocates the exercise of
rights of each of us and the fulfilment of our aspirations. We believe
that our society should develop in conditions of free competition,"
Sargsyan said.
"But under no circumstances can free competition mean the advantage of
large capital and the possibility to use it for strangling and taking
over small competitors," he said.
The president stressed that the main fortress that guarantees the
existence of the country is the family, "our traditional and
conservative family where the young respect and listen to the elders
and where the woman and mother is the pillar".
Sargsyan said that Armenia's policy is based on logical consistency,
clarity and initiative. "We have always been a responsible and
predictable member of the international community that fulfils its
international obligations with pride and diligence," he said.
"But we also understand clearly that the world around us is not
static, that is it changing. It is necessary to show initiative all
the time in our complex region in order not to be forced to react [to
events] but in order to be a full member and contribute to the
development of the agenda for the region and the world," the president
said.
As an example, he cited Armenia's initiative aimed at normalising
relations with Turkey.
