I thank our team. I thank all those who were able to acknowledge the importance of the moment and to conduct a good election. 

I thank my opponents, who were able to make changes in Armenia’s politics, and it was an honor for me to compete with them.   

I thank all journalists, who spared no effort and energy to cover the election campaign of all candidates. 

I thank our law enforcement, police officers, [and] security personnel, who were able to ensure the right and opportunity for the freedom of expression of all candidates.   

I believe we together were able to prove to everyone that we are capable of implementing, with our own efforts, serious changes in our country, and this gives a great hope that these changes will yield their results in a foreseeable future. 

We will continue with our work tomorrow because nothing ends with elections. On the contrary, the hard work begins.   

I am proud and have a hope that all those who did not vote for me will understand the majority decision, and we will start to jointly develop Armenia. And glory to our nation!” Serzh Sargsyan specifically said in his word of thanks.
