THE MAN OF THE YEAR – 2007
In 2007 "The Man of the Year" honorary title was
awarded to Gagik Tsarukian, the remarkable Armenian
businessman and the leader of the "Prosperous Armenia"
party. During a press conference at "Hayeli"
("Mirror") club, dedicated to the event, Mr. Tsarukian
said, "No casual man has a moral right to put forward
his candidature", explaining the reason he was not
running for presidency.
Head of the "Hayeli" club Angela Tovmasian informed
that the participants of their survey gave their votes
to Gagik Tsarukian, taking into account his social and
humanitarian activities – benevolence and promotion of
sport development in Armenia etc.
Gagik Tsarukian mentioned that he prioritized
assessments of ordinary people and added: "The
nation’s appreciations impose high responsibilities
toward it. I have always served to my nation and will
continue my commitments". The businessman shared the
secrets of his success with the reporters: "My
kindness and optimism help me. Without aspiration one
cannot achieve anything. Tsarukian has never been
jealous. One should help his relatives, friends and
neighbors".
