ArmInfo. "I’ll never give cause to anyone voting for me to regret",
Armenian Prime Minister, Leader of the Republican Party of Armenia, and
currently a presidential candidate, Serzh Sargsyan said at a meeting
with the residents of Nork-Marash community of Yerevan, Saturday.
According to him, the main resource of Armenia’s development is the
Armenian people, who live not only in Armenia. "There is a program to
create a special body which will take up the issues of Diaspora. I
spoke about this during the past parliamentary election", he said,
adding: "If we manage to use 15% of our compatriots’ opportunities,
we’ll be twice as strong as without them". Touching upon science and
education, Sargsyan stressed that the state budget of 2008 stipulates
$400 mln for the sphere of education and science. "The best way to
become wealthy in the 21st century is to have knowledge and education.
Our institutions of higher education shouldn’t differ from European
ones", he said.
