There is a man who has been brandishing a hammer and threatening the Armenian people for years, and that this has become the symbol of today’s Armenia. Narek Karapetyan, a member of the Strong Armenia party council, said at a campaign rally.

According to him, the symbol of tomorrow’s Armenia should be a shovel in the hands of hardworking people.

“A shovel means construction, creation. Over the past eight years, half of the farmland in our country has been left abandoned. Tomorrow’s Armenia will revive these lands and build up villages. Thousands of people in our country have no housing. And all these homes we will build with a shovel,” Karapetyan said.
