Agitation video kicks off current president Sargsyan’s election campaign in Armenia

YEREVAN, January 22. /ARKA/. The current president of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan started his election campaign Monday with presentation of an agitation video clip, Novosti-Armenia reported.

“We are starting our elections campaign. We will be driving through towns and villages of the country with this vide clip and will try to cover as many communities as possible. We all have a lot to do”, Sargsyan said.

Sargsyan stressed that his election campaign is not against anyone, but for getting votes and public support. 

The president said that he and his supporters do respect any opposite opinion and believe that critics may bring in a thesis able to consolidate people and make the government’s efforts more efficient.

“We suggest a way to strengthen Armenia’s security and increase prosperity of our people, and we are not tarnishing our competitors. We report both on the results and the shortcomings, and we ask for the vote of our citizens to complete what has been started”, Sargsyan said. 

Armenian presidential elections will be held in Armenia on February 18.
