PreferredWe assure you that looking into your eyes after 5 years, we will be able to say that we have kept the promises which we are giving to you today.
Armenian Defense Minister Vigen Sargsyan, who tops the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) candidate list, said the aforementioned on Saturday at the meeting with the citizens of Kapan town of Syunik province.
“Army is in the center of the RPA attention. We realize that our progress is possible only in the conditions of strong security. Although we have an adversary today, whose activities it is hard to predict, we should have armed forces, which are ready to respond to those challenges,” he said.
According to Sargsyan, the RPA is presenting a program, which doesn’t promise to solve all the issues on the next day. “We don’t promise that it will be possible to solve all the social issues in case we get elected. But I would like to assure that the program which we are presenting to you is very realistic and promising, although it seems very ambitious. Our team—the list of the candidates—with whom we are going to the elections, is the pledge which will bring victory to us.”
Referring to the concept “nation-army,” he said: “When we are talking about the “nation-army,” we mean the heroism, which our people demonstrate in the defense of our country. We will continue so that the service of our guys at the frontline is secure.”
The Defense Minister also quoted Armenian military strategist Garegin Nzhdeh, according to whom “it is not enough to set bright goals: it is necessary to make a wise choice on the path to those objectives.” Sargsyan proposed to make a wise choice and give their vote to “experienced RPA team, which stands on strong bases.”
