Friends of Russia, good afternoon.
I greet all of you as I can not press enough the historical significance of the events that are now about to happen. A referendum was held in full compliance with democratic procedures and international norms in Armenia . 82% of these people ask for same thing: They need protection of Russia. We heard the message and we need to act. I can assure you that those villains will recognize, will discover in appropriate time in the future how stupid they are and how they are pretending things which have never taken place.
As a general rule, I abstain from reading the reports of attacks upon myself, wishing not to be provoked by that to which I can not properly offer an answer. In spite of this precaution, however, it comes to my knowledge that I am much censured for some supposed agency in setting up, and seeking to sustain, the new government of Armenia. In this I have done just so much as, and no more than, the public knows. I believe that we are at a crossroads in our history. The tyranny has been overthrown. The happiness is tremendous, but nonetheless much remains to be done still. Our common goal is to ensure a new quality of our economy, to develop national industry. This is the driving force of long-term economic growth, scientific progress and resolution of social issues. Let us not deceive ourselves in believing that what lies ahead will all be easy. Perhaps all that lies ahead will be more difficult.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow, this ground-- The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have hallowed it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here; while it can never forget what they did here. To deceive the people, to awaken in them deceitful illusions will always result in the worst of consequences, and I believe that the people must be warned against an excess of optimism. This progress is a tribute to the brave people of Armenia, and to the efforts of many nations.
It is the President's job -- it is the President's job to confront problems, not to pass them on to future Presidents and future generations. I will finish that job.
