YEREVAN. – Armenia’s presidential candidate, non-party affiliate, epic poetry specialist Vardan Sedrakyan will kick off his election campaign on Thursday. Sedrakyan himself informed this during a press conference on the same day.

Also, he recalled that the MOD held an event Monday on the occasion of Army Day and “a presidential candidate” (i.e., the ruling Republican Party candidate, incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan) likewise attended it, not as a presidential contender, but rather as Commander-in-Chief of the army; and this, as per Sedrakyan, is an overt manifestation of inequality.   

“What is more, they are speaking solely about Serzh Sargsyan’s heroisms. The Armenian army is formed by the order of the First President of Armenia. The names of all those people that disagree with Serzh Sargsyan are being distorted and removed,” Vardan Sedrakyan added.
