Serzh Sargsyan: Armenian Military Forces are out of any policy and  party

ArmInfo. Armenian Military Forces are out of any policy and party, Serzh Sargsyan, the President of Armenia stated on February 20 at the meeting with commander staff of Armenian Military Forces. 

 "Yes, Vigen Sargsyan, the Defense Minister, leads the Republican 

Party List, but there will not be any interruption of his 

responsibilities or pre electoral propaganda," the President ensured, 

adding that  there will be no any  inter party discussion in the 

Army. Moreover, he warned that all suvch attempts will be punished. 

We are able to organize and to conduct elections that will have a 

trust among the people and the society. I am sure that exactly these  

results will be fixed by international observers invited" he 

mentioned. To his opinion, Azerbaijan keeps a hope that being busy 

with elections, Armenia will become vulnerable. "That is exactly why 

we do expect maximum care from you. I am sure our troops will be able 

to block any provocation." 

At that, Sargsyan expressed his confidence in the sustainability of 

the political system. "Despite the discussions could be sharp, those 

will never disturb our social tranquility. The experience shows that 

during such periods Azerbaijan activates anti Armenian actions both 

at international entities and at the contact line." 

To mention, the parliamentary elections in Armenia are planned at  

April 2, 2017. The pre electoral campaign will start on March 5 and 

finish on march 31. The voting will take place  on April  2, from 

8:00 to 20:00.
