“TIGRAN KARAPETIAN HAS EARNED PEOPLE’S RESPECT”
“Presidential candidate Tigran Karapetian is warmly welcomed in all settlements of Armenia. The warm reception is determined by mutual respect,” Karapet Hakobian, Head of the pre-election office for Tigran Karapetian, says.
“Tigran Karapetian is known everywhere. He has earned people’s respect and confidence due to his long-term and assiduous work. So far we have encountered no obstacles but a few insignificant trifles,” Hakobian says.
As a rule, the People’s Party Leader holds outdoor meetings. “If people support us and want to listen to our speech they will attend our meeting despite unfavourable weather conditions,” Karapet Hakobian adds.
The presidential candidate is scheduled to meet with residents of Hrazdan on February 14. He will hold a rally near the Matenadaran at 4:00 on February 17.
To note, at 2:00, February 17th, Serzh Sarkissian’s supporters hold a rally at Republic Square.
Asked whether the two rallies won’t hamper each other, Hakobian said, “I see no problems in this connection as the rallies are due at different hours.”
