Second President of Armenia, leader of the “Armenia” bloc Robert Kocharyan has made a call ahead of the launch of the election campaign ahead of the upcoming snap parliamentary elections.

Kocharyan has called on his team, supporters and all citizens to focus on the content of the bloc’s platform, ‘infect’ people with a positive mood, forget about the incumbent authorities, not give in to provocations since a group of representatives of the incumbent authorities want to do everything possible to incite tension and even clashes, respect all political parties which are fighting to turn the page of Armenia’s defeat over and talk to compatriots with patience.

He also called on employees of public administration bodies to not be afraid and not give in under any threat.

Kocharyan also addressed representatives of power structures and called on them to be alert, cold-hearted and not perform the illegal orders of the lame-duck leader.

In closing, Kocharyan added that any pressure, threat or attempt of intimidation against his teammates and citizens won’t remain unpunished. Kocharyan also said hope, the prospect for uplift and the idea of dignified peace will win in these elections and added that Armenia will turn a new page over in just 14 days (the day after the elections).
