It's time to say Armenia isn't inferior to European states
The election proceeds smoothly and in a quiet atmosphere, RA National Assembly Speaker Tigran Torosian said. "This election will be a test not only for democracy but also consolidation of our dignity," he said.

"I want us to pass the exam well. Our people do not deserve bad assessments. Independent Armenia is 16 years old and it's time to say that our republic is not inferior to any European state," Mr Torosian underscored.

"The most important task to hold the election in accord with the law. Law enforcers should quickly response to any illegal act. I am hopeful that everyone realizes the significance of this day for Armenia," the RA NA Speaker said.
