Spelling

Please somebody correct the spelling of the first name. It should be Serge ---not Serch(this is so wrong)

Comment

Some facts given in the article seem to be incorrect or at least not official. Compare .

compare the Armenian, English and Russian versions of that page:

hy:

• 1971 թ. ընդունվել է Երևանի պետական համալսարան
• 1972-1974թթ. ծառայել է ԽՍՀՄ զինված ուժերում
• 1979թ. ավարտել է ԵՊՀ-ի բանասիրական ֆակուլտետը

en:

• 1971-1979 Philological Dept, Yerevan State University (1972-1974 Service in the Soviet Army)

ru:

• 1971-1976гг. Ереванский государственный университет

most likely (at least) one of them is wrong.

He is also the chairman of the National Security Council, which is an important position. And Presidential contender, which should be elaborated upon. --adil 07:45, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

What happens in other pages does not necessarily reflect on all articles. Artaxiad 19:20, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

What a day today! He is now the acting PM of Armenia, after the strange passing away of the Armenian PM. And of course he is the leading contender for the post of the President. --adil 07:14, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Correct English Spelling

The English transcription of Armenian words is needed here instead of a transliteration. Please move the article to Sarkisian. Only people who know Armenian can understand the correct English pronunciation of “Sargsyan”. Thank you.

There is no reason to use the "Sarkisian" spelling. Most of Armenian sites use "Sargsyan" themselves, for example : or . Eastern Armenian (the only form of Armenian language official in the Republic of Armenia) has a pronunciation different from Western Armenian spoken by the diaspora from the Ottoman empire. In Eastern Armenian, գ is pronounces rather "g" and կ is rather "k". In Western Armenian, it's the contrary. The name of every Armenian citizen must be transcribed following the Eastern pronunciation. Švitrigaila 11:23, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Sarkisian is the correct spelling of his name because he is a President of Armenia, which uses the Eastern Armenian dialect, whereby the last name is pronounced Sarkisian, with a k like in the word "rack" not Sargsyan, where the g sounds like, "rag."

President

Can we please wait until he becomes the president, and then apply the title. VartanM (talk) 05:50, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

SAS supermarkets?

I'm disinclined to believe the information added by 144.124.16.33, because of his other recent edits, but I don't actually know. Anyone?
—WWoods (talk) 20:02, 21 March 2008 (UTC) My name is Karen Martirosyan. I am a Business Development Director of SAS GROUP LLC. The information you've included in this article about Serzh Sargsyan's business assets does not correspond to the reality. SAS GROUP LLC is owned by brothers Sargsyans - Artak and Aram Sargsyans. Please, delete this paragraph from the article about the biography of Serzh Sargsyan. If needed, I can present the necessary documents for confirmation of my opinion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.139.7.146 (talk) 07:29, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Karen, what is the relation of Artak and Aram Sargsyans to Serge Sargsyan? Serouj (talk) 07:37, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Serouj, There is no relation between Serzh Sargsyan and Artak and Aram Sargsyans. SAS means Sargsyan Artak or Aram Samveli. Please, remove this disinformation from Serzh Sartgsyan's biography. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.139.7.146 (talk) 07:51, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Karen, how can SAS stand for "Sargsyan Artak" or "Aram Samveli"? In the former case, the initials of the supermarket would be "SA" and the latter "AS". I don't follow your logic... The standard explanation is that it stands for "Serge Azati Sargsyan". Serouj (talk) 18:02, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

My friend SAS means Sargsyan Artak Samveli. IS it OK for you? If you have a phone number leave it in this discussion panel i will call you. I hope you understood me and the next time the article BUSINESS ASSETS will be removed.

Regards,

Karen Martirosyan —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.139.7.146 (talk) 06:27, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Serouj is there a neutral reliable source that can confirm if Serzh Sargsyan is connected to SAS? The companies website doesn't mention him. Please remember that we have to follow the WP:BLP rules. VartanM (talk) 21:20, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Vartan, will try to find one... It's difficult to ascertain the ownership of assets here in Armenia, because even legal papers show ownership under a relative or friend, when in reality the ownership is really under another person (the bulk of profits of the enterprise are going to another person).

PM

who will be the next PM of Armenia when Sarkisian become the President? Georgereev118118 (talk) 15:04, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

It has not been decided yet. Popular belief pointed to Robert Kocharian but both Sarkissian and Kocharian have denied that Kocharian will become Prime Minister. - Fedayee (talk) 15:14, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

when will it be decided? Georgereev118118 (talk) 15:54, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Photo of Sargsyan

Can we please get a decent picture of Sargsyan without violating copyright rules?—Preceding unsigned comment added by MosMusy (talk • contribs) 09:01, July 26, 2008

Done. Please don't forget to sign your posts. VartanM (talk) 21:34, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

International Herald Tribune Reference

Serouj, the reference that you have put back talks about the preliminary results of the elections after only 28% of the ballots were counted. Given that all of the ballots have been counted long time ago and lots of more informative and accurate articles have been written on this topic (see Armenian presidential election, 2008 for example) can you explain to all of us here, why do you think it is so important to have that particular reference here?

-Սահակ/Sahak (talk) 22:29, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Because the other 2 articles in that sentence don't reference it. Feel free to replace the reference with one that's more up to date (after the elections.Serouj (talk) 17:21, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

In my comment I wrote that there is already one reference (Armenian presidential election, 2008) and that is enough. Why don't you like Armenian presidential election, 2008 reference? -Սահակ/Sahak (talk) 18:18, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Protests

I added several objective sources backing the paragraph on protests against Sargsyan. BBC, NYTIMES, RFERL and IWPR.Neftchi (talk) 20:44, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Birthplace

>your neutral ground just attempts to remove the fact that Karabakh was and is in Azerbaijan. Do I really need to file an SPI for users with occasional editing?

Dear Tuscumbia, that is called POV. Why can't you remove your pink Azeri glasses and put one that represents a general public view. Karabakh was in Azerbaijan, sure, but it had a special self governing status. Karabakh is in Azerbaijan? nope, it has been "independent" for 20 years. Now what's the point of misinforming the public. Would you really get Karabakh back, by saying that Karabakh was and is in Azerbaijan. The answer is No, you only degrade wikipedia, by making POV edits.

I'm not sure, what SPI means, but I'm sure occasional editing is not forbidden. I'm also hopeful that level headed people would see that my edits were neutral, while yours were not.
