ArmInfo.The third president of Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan, named the omissions of his team during his time in power.
So, on June 6, at a meeting with supporters of the "I Have the Honor" bloc and residents of the city of Jermuk, the third president of Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan, stated that one of the shortcomings of his rule was that they had little contact with people, they little talked about what was done, and maybe this, to some extent, became one of the reasons for what happened in the country in 2018.
"I'll say frankly: communication with the people to a certain extent was cut off. But at the same time, we did not lie, did not manipulate people, did not divide our society into white and black, rich and poor, new and old. On the contrary, we wanted to unite people, because this is a necessity, especially in our case. A divided people cannot support the army, cannot become a pillar that ensures security and, if necessary, replenish the ranks of the army, "the third president said.
He also touched upon the situation on the borders of Armenia, and stated that the war is the most hated thing for him.
"I never wished that not only war, but also any hostilities took place, but when you are afraid, the result is like this. Today they took 6 people prisoner, tomorrow they will take 16, the next day they will take 36, and then what? if he had at least a little dignity, he (Acting Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan - ed. note) would have committed suicide. I swear, if I were the supreme commander in chief, and if there were such a situation, I would have shot myself, " - said Sargsyan, adding that who needs such a life when the death of 5,000 people is on your conscience, not to mention 5,000 deaths from the coronavirus
