KOCHARIAN: I THANK ARMENIAN PEOPLE FOR CONFIDENCE AND BELIEVE IN ARMENIA’S WELLBEING

Armenia’s outgoing President Robert Kocharian delivered his last television address to the nation, the leader’s press office reported. “Dear Compatriots, I last address you as the President of the Republic of Armenia. I will not enumerate the achievements of the past 10 years. The progress of our republic is obvious. There are not many countries in the world developing as rapidly as Armenia. Nevertheless, there is still a great deal of work to do. But I will not speak of problems either. It’s the task of the next President and government. The past ten years passed in a flash for me. The President’s work s responsible and hard and at the same time it is very interesting, creative and demands constant self-perfection. I am thankful to the Armenian people for the confidence. I am thankful to all those people who worked side by side with me. I am thankful to each Armenian citizen who made a contribution to the development of our country. I am thankful to the Armenian Diaspora for assistance in implementation of my initiatives. And I do apologize to those whose living conditions did not improve during these 10 years, whose expectations and wishes did not come true. Leaving a post, each person asks himself whether he could do more. Maybe. But I did all in my power and spared no effort to fulfill my pledges. I believe in the future of Armenia, in potential of our nation. I believe in capability of the new President to govern the republic efficiently. We have always said that our republic is not reach in natural resources. Our richness is our citizens. Dear compatriots, you gave Armenia a start in life and you continue to develop it. With diligence and enterprise, you encourage the development of our economy. I do believe that a stable and successful Armenia will be formed soon because I do believe in you,” the president’s address says.
