Gagik Tsarukyan’s regional meetings are turning into popular press conferences.

Without formalities, without fakeness, without trying to like each other. And in every village, you understand how many questions are accumulated among our compatriots, our people, how many questions and problems there are in the minds of our brothers and sisters, how many unsaid feelings.

The whirlwind in which these meetings pass is indescribable. I have seen many election campaigns in my working life, but this is different. I have never seen such sincerity, such volume of concerns, such tension and ease.

During these days, I realized that this is no longer a classic campaign and it shouldn’t be. This is a meeting of people who are able to look each other straight in the eye, which turns into a popular press conference in a few minutes.

We set ourselves the task of making the “Offer to Armenia” program a popular program that is about people and is written by real people. And now, in every village, in every settlement, a popular discussion of the popular program is taking place.
