The Republican leader Serge Sargsyan addressed the RP congress taking
currently place at the Yerevan Sport and Concert complex. Dwelling on
the economic situation, Serge Sargsyan thanked the major business and
the system-creating organizations which cooperated with the government
to ease the impact of the crisis.

Touching upon the home political situation, Serge Sargsyan assessed
the post-electoral developments as unacceptable and dangerous though
according to him, fortunately, we did not pass the line of separation.
There is still much to do in this connection which needs flexibility
to establish an atmosphere of dialogue and tolerance.

According to Serge Sargsyan, if the institutes of civil society were
more developed, if the political forces were more tolerant and if the
law enforcement bodies were more professional what happened would be
avoided.

Dwelling on the Republican Party, he noted that the RP is being
crystallized, its structures increase in number as well as the number
of people engaged in professional work of the party grows. Serge
Sargsyan said ?Our yes is yes, our no is no?. There are no questions
which interest only us but everything should be viewed in the global
context.

According to Serge Sargsyan, the time to speak freely and to
necessarily change came. The changes within the RP should be viewed in
a wide context. The more the democracy within the party is, the sooner
the society will copy it as a model. RP is not a party of one person,
RP is not Serge Sargsyan?s party, Serge Sargsyan is just an RP member,
said Serge Sargsyan, adding ?If you want to change something start
from you?.

According to him, the RP has the problem on eliminating the
contradictions between words and acts which exist inside the party to
become a model of a New Armenia. If the party represses the opposition
inside it, coming to power it will repress the opposition too. This is
not the RP way of action. The antonym of not making a mistake is not
non-doing anything, it is its synonym. People will not forgive this
mistake, they will not forgive idleness.

The person who leads the power must be wise. We need a stable
political system for progress and its idea is the freedom of mind.
With limited format but without limited content, said Serge Sargsyan.
