Over 400 people gathered in Sisian today to meet presidential candidate
Arthur Baghdasarian.
"I come from Sisian and I hope that residents of Sisian will back
Arthur Baghdasarian during the presidential election," OYP Deputy
Chairman Mher Shahgerdian addressed the public.
He dwelt on poverty reduction and massive emigration which is
especially troublesome at frontier regions.
Mher Shahgerdian says the most worrying is that people have lost
every hope of better life.
In his speech Arthur Baghdasarian spoke of monopolistic control in
the country. Unemployment is still a top-priority in Armenia but the
Government takes no measures in this respect.
"If you take election bribes today and pay 6000 AMD per a sack of
flour, tomorrow you will have to pay 12000 AMD per a sack," Arthur
Baghdasarian said while speaking of election bribes.
In case Arthur Baghdasarian is elected he will take efforts to reduce
taxes and to raise money for tuition.
