    `I SHALL NEVER STAND BEFORE ARMENIANS WITH A HANGING HEAD'
    [05:24 pm] 01 February, 2008

    Residents of Malatsia-Sebastia community received
    presidential candidate Serzh Sarkissian rather
    `coldly' today.

    Probably, the main reason for it was that most of the
    presentees were schoolchildren who had rather come to
    see their favourite singers than get familiarized with
    Serzh Sarkissian's pre-election programme.

    One could also see employees of Malatsia fair among
    the presentees who had been forced to attend the
    meeting.

    Armenian pop-singers entertained the presentees before
    Serzh Sarkissian's addressing speech. When finally the
    Prime Minister showed up, the crowd began dispersing.

    The Prime Minister said he had never dodged
    responsibility and would never shirk it. `I shall
    never stand with a hanging head before the Armenian
    people,' he said.

    Afterwards, Serzh Sarkissian presented some economic
    figures. `Armenia's external debt mounts one milliard
    360 million dollars today.'

    According to the Prime Minister the sum is not great
    if compared with those of other countries.

    The Prime minister reiterated that `there is only one
    official of Karabakh decent in Armenia.' `To tell the
    truth, the Artsakh people may scold me for my stance.
    But they know quite well that while designating
    someone I take into account two
    characteristics-professional skills and humane
    qualities.

    The Prime Minister's speech was occasionally
    interrupted by shouts, `Onward, Armenia!'
