    SERZH SARGSYAN: INTEREST OF ONE OR SEVERAL PERSONS CANNOT BE HIGHER THAN STATE INTEREST

    June 1, 2009

    YEREVAN, JUNE 1, NOYAN TAPAN. RA President Serzh Sargsyan congratulated
    the Republican Party of Armenia, Bargavach Hayastan party, and the
    Armenian National Congress on the occasion of succeeding in Yerevan
    Council of Elders elections and wished them fruitful work in the
    staff of Council of Elders.

    According to S. Sargsyan, the foundation of a new government system
    is laid with the elections, which is a serious progress in the
    direction of strengthening democratic mechanisms in Armenia. In
    his congratulatory address he mentioned that the May 31 elections
    and the whole preelection stage showed that "we managed to solve the
    considerable part of problems existing in electoral processes and moved
    forward in the direction of solving the others." As a result, according
    to S. Sargsyan, this election was indeed a serious step forward.

    The President presented his position in connection with violations
    recorded at some polling stations: "The interest of one or several
    persons cannot be higher than the state interest, and fair elections
    are state's absolute interest. They require not only exclusion of
    violations, but also consistency in the issue of disclosure and
    liquidation of violations.

    Therefore all of us demand that each case of violation be disclosed
    and everybody guilty be punished and called for liability with the
    whole strictness of the law."
