Raffi Hovannisian Vows to End `Disaster Zone' Notion, Lead Gyumri and
the Entire Shirak Region to its Glorious Potential
Yerevan--Raffi K. Hovannisian today took his presidential campaign to
the residential areas of Saragat, Anushavan, Getap, Dzorakap, Maralik,
Horom, Vardakar, Panik, Azatan, Ashotsk, and Akhuryan, and the cities
of Artik and Gyumri in the Shirak region.
During the crowded meetings Hovannisian reiterated his vision on the
restoration and development of the Shirak region, underscoring the
state's obligations towards villagers and the need to increase
agricultural loans and subsidize veterinary services.
Election violations were recorded in the village of Azatan, where
incumbent president Armenia Serzh Sargsyan's campaign posters were
displayed on the 35/01 precinct electoral commission.
Addressing a large crowd of supporters who packed the town hall in
Gyumri, Raffi Hovannisian said: `The Heritage Party has done extremely
well in Gyumri in past elections. Today I represent not the Heritage
Party but you, the citizen, regardless of your political affiliation.
It's time to lay down party flags, and together ensure a citizens'
victory for the first time in twenty years. Restoring the Disaster
Zone--and shedding Gyumri of that pathetic label--is a crucial element
of my platform, which will allocate additional funding of $100 million
to improve public services and amenities. Restoration does not only
mean rebuilt housing but also achieving the powerful industrial and
agricultural potential in this region by securing large scale
investments. The residents of Gyumri and the entire Shirak region must
have dignified and well-paying jobs that will reverse the tragic
exodus. To achieve this, we will proclaim Gyumri a free trade area. We
will also bring back to life the techno-park, which the authorities
have done nothing to implement despite much talk.'
