SERZH SARGSYAN CALLED ON OPPOSITION FOR COOPERATION
- During today’s rally, Armenia’s Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan congratulated his supporters on conduction of a fair presidential election. “My goal is to work for the glory of Armenia. I call on all political forces, despite their political views and ideological approaches, to join efforts for consolidation of our state system,” he said. The Prime Minister called on his supporters not to feel anger against the demonstrators at Liberty Square because they have become tools in the fight for the presidential post. “I call for restraint. They are your brothers and sisters,” he said. “The authorities are ready to cooperate with the opposition. But I do assure that all measures will be taken to secure political stability in the country,” he said.
