As part of his campaign tour to Armenia's regions, President Serzh
Sargsyan met Thursday the voters of Yeghvard (Kotayk region) to
address the community's problems and offer solutions.
The president focused particularly on the migration problem, saying
that he experiences a deep sorrow and bitterness every time when
seeing an empty house in villages.
"The rusty and closed locks in villages leave the most painful
impression on me. An emptying village is the only thing that can drive
me out of patience," he said. "We must never forget our friends who
sacrificed their lives for the villages. But that is our problem and
our grief, so we must find a solution."
The president noted that no single problem in Armenia's communities
has so far escaped his attention.
"One doesn't have to cross thousands of miles to make the first step.
I have served my nation, honestly doing my job. And meeting
representatives of different communities today, I ask for reaffirming
your vote which you cast in my favor to enable me to continue
the activities that have remained unfinished or not succeeded,"
Sargsyan said.
The president promised to facilitate the lives in village communities
in an effort to return the young generation home.
He further spoke of agricultural reform plans. "We'll continue what
we have done in the past two years, providing affordable loans at
costs below the market prices to help solve the problem of fuels,
seeds, as well as agricultural equipment," he said, adding that the
government is now thinking of programs requiring cooperative efforts.
Sargsyan emphasized that a good conduct of elections is extremely
important for him. "The quality of elections is highly important for
Armenia. I say after every election that we prefer a free voting,
albeit with a lower percentage. A president elected in good, free and
fair elections feels freer to speak in front of the world community,"
he added.
