Dear President of Armenia!

Distinguished guests, colleagues at the party!                                                                                                     

I did not prepared deployed and long speech. In my speech, I will focus on
some fundamental issues that will give answers to basic questions, which are
now addressed to "Prosperous Armenia" party. Given the great
interest and expectations, which have a place in relation to the party
"Prosperous Armenia", after my speech, my colleagues in the party
will present their views and approaches on key issues, elaborated on the main
provisions of our election program.

Let's look at reality

Today we must ask ourselves - how is it that working outside of Armenia our
compatriots are making significant progress in various spheres of life, become
celebrities and prominent figures. How is it that an Armenian, emigrating
to another country for a year or two manages to get on their feet, find jobs,
create jobs, support their families, and in his native country, their homeland
to do it all fails. There is one answer - the lack of appropriate
environment and conditions. Therefore, we in this country are now faced with
the challenge - to create the appropriate conditions, opportunities for working
man will not think about emigration and will work in his own country and will
be able to adequately provide for his family. The future of our young
people needs to be build at home. Working people should not live in poverty,
and if we can not resolve the question of employment, then we are forced to
fight against poverty. Did we solve the most serious strategic problem in
our country? I think not. But if we will not soon pick up system
solutions to this issue, we will be forced to commit an even greater increase
in poverty, a greater percentage of emigration.

Began in the 2008 economic crisis affected our country, as in all states. In
almost all countries the government extended a hand to their businesses,
especially small and medium entrepreneurs, villagers found the different
support mechanisms to soften their position. Does Armenian businessman
felt this help? I particularly want to highlight the small and
medium-sized businesses, because if large business leaders can work out a time
with no profit or even at the expense of working, for small and medium-sized
businesses its turning to the question "To be or not to be". At
least taking into consideration the problems of these people, the state must
provide to small and middle-class tax and other incentives, to support.

A well-known truth that a small business - this is the environment in which large
businesses birth and rise to their feet. This is the way to becoming

Small and medium enterprises also contributes to the formation of the middle
class, therefore, in our election platform, we approved a plan for the next 5
years, have paid special attention to the development and mechanism of state
care for small and medium businesses.

Fact that small and medium businesses have remained, in the truest sense of the
word, abandoned. Much of the businesses were closed, the owners left the
country. Environment and conditions needed to talented and gifted leaders who
will represent our country could go ahead.

"Prosperous Armenia" coming with the new proposal: we must move from
primary to human capital, from the benefits of which will benefit not selected
ones, but the people at large. I myself have made progress in time ago
from the first steps in business, I know well economic situation in our
country, not in theory but mostly on practice. I'm confident I've been
repeating that the old methods do not make serious progress. At the heart
of our system changes should be the person has to become the main character. Hero
of our country should not be official, but a man who creates for the benefit of
our people.

Emigration. Dear party members, guests of
the congress!

Quoting our great compatriot Charles Aznavour question of how to prevent the
catastrophic process of emigration has a clear answer. If Armenian would
work, if he can support his family, he will never leave home. The Armenian
economy is in serious need of investment, foreign capital - it will give the
opportunity to create new jobs. It is important not to disturb, not to
create tax delays and obstacles for working people. This will improve the
economic situation in the country, which, of course, will keep a person on his
land, his birthplace.

We must not forget that the most powerful weapon of the country is living
happily with dignity and a man who loves his homeland. Today, we must
assume that the abrupt change in the economic situation in the country has
become a national security issue.

Powerful state, growing economy, a prosperous family. This is our slogan,
and we know how to achieve all this.

About tolerance to each other

One of the main slogans of "Prosperous Armenia" is the slogan of
"Peace at home, peace in the borders". Success is seeking a
country that manages to create in an atmosphere of harmony. In my speeches
I have said many times that neither I nor any member of the "Prosperous
Armenia" will not act in terms of hostility toward one or another party
leader. Our main task is to create an atmosphere of harmony in the
country, creating a culture of a civilized dispute. You must be able to
listen to opinions and arguments of each other. We must not look for
enemies domestically. I want to believe that after the parliamentary
elections of May 6, we will feel more united, because I am sure that the task
of bringing the country out of crisis rally the majority of political forces. I
reiterate that in order to bring the country out of this situation, we need
broad coalition.

And of course, about the upcoming parliamentary elections

Upcoming parliamentary elections should be held freely and fairly. We all
understand that this election is a serious challenge to our country. What
we need is not animosity, and the competitive environment. Never a problem
was solved with the help of hostility. And will not be solved. The
entire political field must unite around fair elections, and if we manage to
create such an atmosphere, I assure you that our country will not have unsolvable
problems. It depends on the upcoming elections, in which country we will
continue to live, and this requires that the elections were fair. We need
to trust the results that our citizens feel that their voice is preserved. With
full responsibility I declare that we will do everything possible to protect
voters and their rights. All the political forces that are ready to fight
with us in the name of free and fair elections will be considered as the allies
and partners. Most important task for all of us must be honest,
transparent and fair parliamentary elections.

"Prosperous Armenia" will do everything to justify the faith and hope
of our people. It is for us, especially for me, the biggest
responsibility. I've always said that when a worker enters the political
arena, he must be ready to take on responsibility to society and does not fail. We
are never deceived peoples hope and will never do that. I thank you for
your trust and support over the years. 

Be assured that we will meet your expectations, we are confident that we
will have a prosperous Armenia, the dream of all.

Thank
 you.
