Samvel Karapetyan, national philanthropist, leader of the “Strong Armenia” party, and candidate for prime minister, stated that Armenian society is awakening and expects real change.

“We are gradually awakening the Armenian people. People are inspired; they feel that we will soon bring change,” Karapetyan said, adding that once in power, they will create 300,000 jobs.

“We will create 300,000 jobs, and leave one for Pashinyan – to play the drums,” he said.

Regarding attempts by the current leadership to consign the issue of the Armenian Genocide to oblivion, as well as the overall policies pursued by the Pashinyan government, the philanthropist noted: “The less attention we pay to Nikol Pashinyan and his government, the more benefit the Armenian people will gain from it. Nikol Pashinyan and his government should have absolutely no role in the future of the Armenian people.”
