    Statement by ARF Bureau representative Hrant Margarian

    `Dear fellow-citizens,

    The Armenian Revolutionary Federation Party is starting its march
    towards the victory. A victory that will first of all be the victory
    of the nation. A victory that we will accomplish together.

    We are expecting your participation in the elections. We are expecting
    that you will give your votes to the ARF with confidence and trust. We
    are looking forward to working diligently so that we can win together.

    We are different from everyone. We are not going to spread hatred
    with our campaign, we are not going to threaten or bribe our
    voters. We are entering the political arena with our organizational
    capacity, our work and our platform.

    I am sure that our wise and cautious nation, our nation that has
    dignity will ignore empty threats, temporary pressures and bribes and
    will give its vote to the Armenian Revolutionary Federation. By voting
    for the ARF you will ensure your victory.

    We are sure that we will have our people's vote of confidence. ARF is
    the most experienced and at the same time the most vibrant
    organization in the Armenian political reality.

    ARF is a pan-Armenian organization that is present in more than 30
    countries. ARF includes all segments of the Armenian nation. ARF is a
    true organization that was not established around any individual or
    group interests.

    ARF is a party that has a rich biography, a functioning structure,
    ideology, collective accountability and responsibility.

    ARF is the party of true patriots and is the friend of the most
    vulnerable segments of our nation. ARF was there in the liberation war
    in Artsakh, ARF is there in the most recent processes of determination
    in Javakhq. Gevorg Chavush, Aram Manukian, Levon Shant, Siamanto,
    Daniel Varuzhan, Tatul Krpeyan, Artur Mkrtchian, Shahen Meghrian and
    many many other outstanding patriots were ARF members.

    When our organization was outlawed and exiled we did not accommodate
    to the violence and overcame it through underground struggle. Then we
    joined the government for the sake of our country and our nation.

    ARF always saw the truth and called things with their names. ARF never
    deviated from its proclaimed goals and never identified itself with
    any negative phenomena. ARF always preserved its own identity and
    adhered to its principles.

    The people will trust the ARF, will unite around it and vote for it
    because ARF is the political force that has a program and will to
    implement that program, because the Armenian nation is the Alpha and
    the Omega for the ARF. We want to govern the nation without ruling it,
    we want to lead the nation.

    Restoration of justice and creation of development opportunities for
    all is our goal. ARF has the will and determination to realize this
    because ideological strength and political will is needed to fight
    corruption in the country. ARF is the force to do this because ARF
    aims at conscious support of the nation.

    ARF's supporters are people with dignity, people who are ready for
    struggle. No one should solve his problems through criminal relation.
    No one should feel unprotected in the country. Everyone should be
    equal in front of the law.

    ARF has a vision of the future. It has a vision of organizing and
    developing the nation and the country. ARF is not dominated by the
    momentary interests of any individuals or groups. Political power is
    not a means of solving personal problems and gaining personal wealth
    for the ARF.

    ARF strives for national development, national security and
    consolidation of a powerful homeland. ARF believes that it is possible
    to significantly increase the population of Armenia. Because with the
    ARF's victory poverty will be eliminated in the country.

    Our economy has the potential that, if used and managed properly, will
    allow increasing the minimum salary and pension to 30,000 or 50,000
    drams.

    Dear nation, last time we gained 11% of your votes. We joined the
    government and managed to accomplish some success.

    Today we are relying on you to form the next government that would
    ensure a true fight against corruption, protectionism and the
    atmosphere of impunity.

    We will address every citizen, we will present ourselves the way we
    are, and we will win the vote of confidence of our nation.

    I am sure our voters can differentiate between the good and the
    bad. Our nation will vote for the ARF because they place their
    children's future above everything else.

    Dear nation, we are the same for you, we are there for you, we are
    your old friend. Let us go together towards the victory'.
