"NO NEED TO BEAT DOWN DOORS TO RAISE MONEY FOR ARMENIAN ARMY"
During a campaign meeting with Masis residents today, the presidential
candidate Serzh Sargsyan answered questions about recognition of the
Armenian Genocide by Turkey. He said: "I don't think we should lay our
hopes only on the 100th anniversary of the Genocide. Of course, it is
an important anniversary, but it does not mean that if prior to the
100th anniversary Turkey does not recognize the Armenian Genocide, we
should give way to despair. We must not stop struggling for the
international recognition of the Genocide".
One resident of Masis suggested that a fund be set up and its money be
allocated for the rearmament of the Armenian army.
Serzh Sargsyan replied that they accept the help provided to the
Republic of Armenia and the army, but considerable expenditures are
now incurred to maintain the Armenian army so it is impossible to
solve armament problems through fundraising only.
"I think there is no need to beat down doors and ask people to give
money for the Armenian army. It would be an incorrect step," Sargsyan
noted.
In conclusion, the presidential candidate addressed Masis residents,
saying: "We should hold the best elections on February 18. Each vote
is of importance to us, each vote will make us stronger!"
