"It's a pity, we have not yet been able to create the Armenia where the rule of law, the universal democratic standards, and national values prevail. This situation requires several initiatives.

All candidates must assume a responsibility to exclude the use of their administrative resource. The mode of action of mongering fear and of terrorizing the citizens that are working in the state system must be ruled out.

Candidates for presidency urged Armenian citizens to actively participate in the upcoming February 18th presidential elections.
