Serzh Sargsyan is urged to develop chess rather than gambling

31 July 2009 [17:50] – Today.Az

Head of the Armenian Center for National and International Studies
Richard Kirakosyan called on Serzh Sargsyan today to develop chess
rather than gambling in the country.

He said it will benefit Armenia.

The expert made the statement commenting on the government’s decision
to return gambling houses to the resort centers and major hotels.

`In contrast to former President Robert Kocharian, who was known as a
fan of winter sports, President Sargsyan is an advocate of the
intellectual game of chess it and would better to contribute to their
development.’

`Many officials played with the state budget. Serzh Sargsyan should
pay more attention to his beloved game of chess and do not listen to
those who most valued gambling,’ Kirakosyan said.
