YEREVAN. - Be sure that Armenia will become the most efficiently and fastest developing state in the region.

President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan said the aforementioned at the launch of the election campaign at Yerevan's Dinamo Sports Complex on Sunday.

''For me as the head of the ruling party of Armenia, these elections are of exclusive significance. The most important thing is our citizens' confidence towards the results. We must hold elections, which will raise no doubt in anyone with regard to their freedom, transparency or fairness. The elections which will be in line with the letter and spirit of law will be the victory of all of us, irrespective of the number of votes received. This will be the victory of the nation, state and society. I am sure that we, the citizens of the Republic of Armenia, are ready for this. Our party launches its campaign under the motto ''Security and progress,'' he said.

The President stressed that currently there is no more important and vital thing than the security of the country and people. ''Everything else is reversible. Half-completed affairs can be completed, mistakes can be corrected, but there are no small things in issues of security, and each failure may be fatal.  We will ensure the reliable security of Armenia and Artsakh,'' Sargsyan noted.

''I assure you that every citizen of our country will see the positive influence of the progress and improvement in their life each year,'' he stressed.

Furthermore, Sargsyan added that solutions require nationwide efforts, focus, reasonable and efficient administration, as well as a force which will correctly direct relevnt processes.  ''Today this force is the improving Republican Party of Armenia with its strong institutions, its youth, experience in governance, and finally, a prime minister, who embodies progress.

With a great respect for our opponents and competitors, we, the Republicans, believe that we will win, since we believe in the future of our country and the great potential of our people.''
