Yerevan /Mediamax/. Armenian President-Elect Serzh Sarkisian stated
that in the course of the nearest years at the President’s position he
intends `to do everything necessary for Armenia to become a strong
democratic state with liberal economy, where the rights and basic
liberties of a person are observed’.
Mediamax reports that Serzh Sarkisian said this in an interview,
published in `Rossiyskaya Gazeta’ today.
The present Prime Minister noted that `the effort to organize a `color
revolution’ in Armenia was doomed to failure from the very beginning’.
`As opposed to the states, where `color revolution’ was successful, in
Armenia there are factors, which were not taken into account by the
organizers of the given unrest. Firstly, authorities of Armenia enjoys
a very strong confidence of the society. The result of presidential
elections proved that. Secondly, the majority of Armenian society
desires evolutional path and does not agree, unlike certain radical
oppositionists, to a revenge of the previous elite’, Serzh Sarkisian
stated.
