Dear citizens of Arabkir community,

13/09/2008

Thank you for trusting me and working with me during the past three years. This is a productive work, which will continue till October 1, till the end of my tenure period. I was elected in 2005 and received 18,315 votes from our citizens. Accordingly, due to my respect to the choice of our citizens, I will continue my office till the end of the date according to the law. Also I would like to thank all the citizens of Arabkir community for not giving a place to the provocations during the local government head’s and community council elections of the community on September 7, due to which we could escape from worse incidents. No position can be a highest value and even the highest position is not worth of a human life. Indeed there were incidents in our community on Sunday, which could result in such outcome. Fortunately we could escape from such undesirable outcome: my primary goal on Saturday was not my participation in the election but the security of the lives of Arabkir community citizens. Now I believe that I have reached that goal and I have won. The elections on September 7 showed that elections without deaths and victims are a victory in our reality.

Hovhannes Shahinyan
Head of Arabkir community
