FORWARD! TO THE ARMENIA OF NEW VICTORIES
- The Republic Square was simply crammed yesterday. Thousands of people gathered here, from the different regions of the country, to back up their vote of confidence, given to Serge Sargsyan and to say “no” to those who divide people into relatives and strangers, who sow enmity in the society with all the possible and impossible means, who want to impose the choice of the minority on the majority.
People came to reconfirm that they want to link the future of the country, their children’s future with the persistence of the reforms performed in the country, that they refuse adventurous political manifestations and they don’t want to live in a country where the leaders are professional demagogues, revolutionaries who appeared in the political domain with the slogan “dismantle -dissolve”.
Armenia’s newly elected President Serge Sargsyan welcomed those who have gathered in the heart of the city to stand for the previous and future victories of our country, for the continuation of stable developments, and promised: “ I will do my best to justify your confidence and to be open-faced in front of you. Believe me, you will never regret that you voted for Serge Sargsyan.”
”At this moment our soldiers are protecting our borders, our teachers are educating the coming generation, our doctors are healing the wounds of our brothers and sisters. And we have gathered here to heal other wounds that appeared in our society after these elections. We must overcome this ordeal. We must try to heal the wounds as soon as possible.
I feel very sorry about all this. I feel sorry because I’m tired of seeing wounds on our people’s body. It is high time to go forward. And I also feel sorry because our people can’t comprehend the value of our achievements, the formation of power through elections and the value of the majority’s opinion.” RPA Leader said recording that unlike the sectarians gathered in the Theatrical Square he respects variety of opinions.
“We never divide society between “ours and theirs”, or, as some so called “democrats” say between “ours and the scum of nation”. Fascism and revenge is strange for us. Believe me, we will analyze the pre-election criticism heard in our address and we will consider the healthy ones.
I strongly believe the recent election process will only make us stronger and will contribute to the development of democracy in the country. From this high tribune I appeal to all the ex- presidential candidates and the political powers endorsing them, let’s cooperate. Right up to the formation of coalition government. My goal is to use all the constructive powers in favor of the development of Armenia,” he announced.
Despite the post-election poison, hatred and enmity sowed by the followers of Levon, Serge Sargsyan hopes time will settle everything. ”Every victory is the end of a certain refuge. But for me this victory is the beginning of all the coming victories of our nation and the state.
It is due to our united efforts that the history of Armenian people, turned to a history of victories. Our coming generations will be proud of these victories. I have promised victories and we have already won. And at the moment I promise new victories and we will again win. We will win over the poverty, evil, indifference. Humanism and optimism will prevail in our country.”
“Unfortunately today we eyewitness other phenomena: split of the society, aggression, by which some people expect to attain their end, we eyewitness unprecedented, dangerous processes. There are no strangers and friends for me, or government in power and opposition. Today we all face the issue of Armenia, the continuation of our statehood, the protection of our values for which we have gathered today.
That is why I appeal to all of you; regardless of your political views and approaches you must be able to overcome this artificial split. We will overcome this separation as well. Each citizen of Armenia will win, for the sake of all-Armenians.”
The newly elected President asked: “Not to feel enmity towards those gathered in the other square. Because these people are our brothers and sisters. I strongly believe the reason they came to the square is their expectation to have a better Armenia. But unfortunately they don’t notice that they have become tools for some people to gain power and to take revenge. I know that you feel irritated when you see all this. I know lots of people are ready to take to the streets and protect their votes.
But please try to control yourselves. If you want to initiate something it should be directed to tolerance and kindheartedness. Always remember, those who have gathered in the other square are our brothers and sisters.
Serge Sargsyan said there is no doubt these elections were more progressive than the previous one. But still we have lots of work to do. The first issue is to lift public confidence towards the election processes, to be able to win “honorable victory” and suffer “honorable defeat”, which we unfortunately lack in our reality. But it is a matter of the future. The most important thing at the moment is to put into practice the slogan “Forward Armenia!”

"who want to impose the choice of the minority on the majority" ??? From the looks of the election the real minority were the Republicans, and their tactics to frighten the rural people to vote, is very well documented. Democracy is defined as majority rule and minority rights, so even if the minority don't agree with the government they have the right to petition and to a peaceful protest.
