One of the participants asked the candidate to predict the outcome of the elections. “Everything has been and will be done to destabilize the situation in the country,” said Artashes Geghamyan and reminded about the quarrel in Aragatsotn region. “Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s team beat an army participant in front of policemen and no one interfered, they drove around the city with a line of 160-200 cars and no one tried to stop them”. According to him, they are so worried that they have published in a newspaper that Geghamyan was guilty in the terror on October 27. They arrived, everyone was there, and the bear came by train too. This is like what they said concerning the October 27 terror. They said this despite the fact that I have not been a part of these or the previous authorities. I have just spoken out the failures of the others. It turns out that I was the one who instructed people to shoot and kill in 96. It is not by chance, they are saying this to undermine the situation. They are saying that I have been sold”. A. Geghamyan, who doesn’t ever miss an opportunity to speak near cameras used the opportunity and asked a question to Aram Z. Sargsyan, “Did the honor and the human values of little Aram deserve only a prime-minister’s position? When he was suggested the prime-minister’s position after the terror of October 27 he made friends with Serzh Sargsyan and Robeert Kocharyan. Once he was removed from the PM’s position, he started remembering about the events of October 27. Now look what I am saying man, if you are a real man, who was holding your hands when you were prime minister? Why didn’t you say what you had to say that time? Did you have anything to do that time? Why didn’t you do that? Why are you threatening now? Why are you trying to target Geghamyan? He is kidding”.
 
Artashes Geghamyan promised the young people to do his best to keep the situation in the country stabile. According to Geghamyan it is the point where his interests are corresponding with the interests of the government. “If people are killed, the first ones to be responsible for those actions will be the authorities,” said Geghamyan.

“You should read our program and you will see the expectations our country has from the young generation. The young generation should realize what they can do too. Later they will feel themselves as the owners of the state. In the 21st century the winners are those countries, which are basing on the best discoveries of their scientific works when implementing their policies. As for our country, it has a good scientific potential,” said Geghamyan and remembered his youth when young men were trying to perform good standing by showing how well educated they were and young girls liked well-educated guys.
