Robert Kocharyan—the second President, leader of the "Armenia" bloc which is running in the snap parliamentary elections on June 20, and candidate for prime minister—met with the residents of Stepanavan town along the lines of the election campaign of this bloc.

Kocharyan stressed that he has already twice managed to bring the country out of the crisis: the first time—in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), and the second time—in Armenia. "This will be the third time; it definitely will be. Even if you do not wish, it’s all the same, we will get [the country] out of the crisis. I want to be proud of my homeland," Kocharyan added.
