YEREVAN. – We will go to the presidential elections—to be held on February 18, 2013—with this festive mood, Armenia’s Premier Tigran Sargsyan told news reporters Saturday, before the start of the 14th special congress of the ruling Republican Party (RPA). 

“There is a festive mood at this grand hall [that is, at capital city Yerevan’s Karen Demirchyan Sports and Concerts Complex] because the congress is a key event for our party. We will nominate the presidential candidate,” he noted. 

With respect to RPA presidential nominee—and serving President—Serzh Sargsyan’s election slogan, which is “Toward a Secure Armenia,” the PM said the President of Armenia will give the answers to all questions in his speech.
