– Why did you decide to run for the National Assembly extraordinary elections?

– I have been nominated as a deputy candidate to bring my immediate participation to the solution of problems in the country. I have been talking and voicing these issues for years as a journalist, now I think it’s time to become a direct participant in their solution.

– Why did you decide to take part in the elections by the Sasna Tsrer Pan-Armenian Party list?

– It is a party as formal, in reality it is a pan-national, national movement, which unites around ideological, principled, patriotic people – all those who can contribute to a real state. I think this is the answer to your question why I have been included in the pre-electoral list of “Sasna Tsrer” Pan-Armenian Party.

I will defend the interests of the RA citizen and, in case of being in parliament, I will raise any question of the citizen, suggesting ways of solution. The problems are many, we deal with them at every step, and I can talk about it for a long time, I think there are occasions to address them.
