Narek Karapetyan in Gavar: To secure Armenia`s future, it is  necessary to build factories and create jobs inside country

ArmInfo. To secure Armenia's future, it is necessary to build factories and create jobs within the country. Narek Karapetyan, a member of the party's political council, made this statement in Gavar, the regional center of the Gegharkunik region, at the opening of the Strong Armenia party office.

He noted that due to the lack of jobs in the city, thousands of  people are forced to leave the country each year in search of work,  mostly in Russia. He rhetorically asked why this is happening if  everything is going well in the country. According to Karapetyan, a  similar situation is observed in other cities of Armenia, and today  almost everyone knows someone who is planning to leave the country in  search of work. "Factories in Armenia have been destroyed, and people  are forced to leave to support their families. And they are being  provided with such opportunities. But for these people to remain in  our country and for our communities to continue to thrive, we need to  restore this potential, including our factories. After all, if we  want a future for Armenia, we must create jobs within the country,"  the political party representative noted.  Karapetyan, in this  regard, emphasized that today Armenia needs a leader inspired by  patriotism and a duty to the homeland, as well as with connections  abroad. Samvel Karapetyan, chairman of the Strong Armenia party, is  precisely such a person. He noted that although Karapetyan lived and  worked in Russia, he never lost touch with his homeland, as  experience shows that the diaspora's connection to Armenia only grows  stronger far from home. "Our country has a governance problem. We're  tired of being the weakest among our regional neighbors. Previously,  when we were seen outside Armenia, people would change their roads to  avoid crossing paths with us. Now, they look at us as if we've been  crushed. Azerbaijan, a country of 10 million, is rejoicing over its  capture of Artsakh, home to approximately 150,000 Armenians. Our  country today needs consolidation and a new leader with whom the  Armenian people can pin their hopes. If someone with economic  experience emerges in our country, our country will become prosperous  and strong," Karpatyan concluded.

As a reminder, on February 12, at the Karen Demirchyan Sports and  Concert Complex, businessman Samvel Karapetyan, chairman of the  Strong Armenia party, was unanimously elected as the prime  ministerial candidate for the upcoming parliamentary elections  scheduled for June 7.
