Candidatel We cannot get rid of dictator through elections (video)
Violinist Narek Sargsyan, a candidate on the joint ticket of the Armenian National Congress (HAK) and People’s Party of Armenia (HZhK) returned to Armenia from Germany one year ago. Today, he has teamed up with Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s Armenian National Congress in an effort to get rid of Serzh Sagsyan’s administration. “Dozens of families are on the verge of starvation. Even statistics shows that every fifth child in Armenia lives below the poverty line and goes to bed hungry,” he said. He says people in Armenia live with a sense of impending doom. This does not promise anything good to the state. “They are driving people to poverty and the reason is clear. Ask any terrorist why he kills people, he will tell you the same thing.” Narek Sargsyan is sure that the entire nation wants to get rid of the Sargsyan administration. He has not seen such despair in any other country. Perhaps, bribery is thriving in our country for that reason. “What do you want and expect from a person who has a problem with famine? Do you expect anger or outrage from him? Starting from 2008, we have been witnessing mockery and insult,” he said. Anyway, Narek Sargsyan does not consider Armenians to be weak-willed people, instead of fighting against the government they are waiting for bribes. Terrorism is taking its course. “People are intimidated and blackmailed. First, they say they will give money for votes, then they cheat saying the voting process is recorded. Sragsyan believes that people can topple the current regime. Serzh Sargsyan came to power by force but people cannot get rid of him through elections. “People who come to power by force can be overthrown through peaceful demonstrations and public pressure," he stressed. The young candidate says political figures and journalists should instill hope in people instead of showing our citizens as weak-willed people who are unable to solve problems and rely on bribes.
