Armenian President Armen Sarkissian today called on all political parties and alliances running in the June 20 early parliamentary election to show restraint and tolerance towards one another and “to carry out the electoral process in an atmosphere of a civilized political culture.”

Saying that the election is occurring when Armenia faces numerous challenges, Sarkissian urged the parties to refrain from “dishonest propaganda technologies”.

He called on all voters to go to the polls, realizing that they are deciding the country’s future.
