During a meeting with voters president Serzh Sargsyan petitioned everyone to work and struggle together for the purpose of justice for everyone. “For me everyone is ours,” said Serzh Sargsyan.
“During the liberation war of Artsakh we were not asking whether people were from Artsakh, Goris, Yerevan, Hrazdan or Gyumri. All we were in one strong fist to hit the enemy and break their backbone. And we did it. Now we have a fight too. This fight is even more difficult because it is not with an enemy that is hiding near you. We must reveal our weaknesses and fight against those weaknesses. What I mean is that we must fight against our own weaknesses,” said Serzh Sargsyan in Charentsavan and added that during the past years he had not developed any discrimination and had been open to cooperation with anyone. “For me everyone is ours. Now I am asking everyone to work together and fight together. It is not an easy task to reveal and address the own mistakes. The human being can easily see the weaknesses of others, but they don’t see or do not want to see their own weaknesses. I believe that it is characteristic only for strong people to understand and reveal their weaknesses. During my office in the past years the RPA has served for our people. And then we made mistakes, we were never afraid to acknowledge our mistakes. Now I am asking everyone to make justice together. The police, prosecutor, the law-enforcement bodies are not obeying the RPA. All they are serving for the people of Armenia. The weapons and uniforms are serving for the people, but not private interests. Let’s support the independence and strength of those institutions together so that they can protect us. Let’s mobilize our entire society to control those institutions. Ultimately the political parties that have power will come and go, but those institutions will continue being the ones in charge of protection and our security. Those institutions should never depend on the wish of political parties,” said Serzh Sargsyan.
During a meeting with voters in Abovyan the president spoke about human protection saying that people should be protected and secure in streets and at home, in the working place and everywhere; they must be protected physically and by the law. “We are doing it very attentively. We are also improving the mechanisms. We have initiated and are making a lot of changes in the judicial and legal systems aimed at strengthening the human protection and security. Law-abiding citizens are the best values of the state, and we will be doing our best to make sure that such people are free and protected and have the feeling that they are the owners of their country,” said Serzh Sargsyan and added that one cannot be protected if officials expect to take bribe from him/her. Concerning the national security Serzh Sargsyan said that this task is on the head of all Armenians and Artsakh since Armenia’s independence. “During the past years huge work has been done to make sure we are balancing the powers with the enemy. The security potential of the state has been drastically increased. We have spoken about this much, but to be short, I can say that we still continue obligating peace. This is the biggest and most important result. We will keep and strengthen this result. We will be standing firmly and will be attentive; we will not lose these characteristics even for a moment,” said Serzh Sargsyan.
