Narek Karapetyan, coordinator of the “Our Way” movement, during a meeting with citizens in Yerevan’s Malatia-Sebastia community, noted that by looking at the path people have taken, one can judge what they will pursue in the future.

According to him, the country’s leadership should not be fighting with clergymen or playing the drums all day long. It should not be engaged in things that have nothing to do with the economy, but should focus on the country’s economy, at least slightly improving people’s lives.

“And why do they do what they do? Because that is the only thing they know how to do well. Because throughout their lives they only contradicted, insulted people, and provoked negative emotions toward them. And what did Samvel Karapetyan do? He worked. He created jobs. All his life he created jobs from scratch,” Karapetyan added.

“You cannot live 30 years one way, and then 10 years differently. The way you lived before is the way you will continue, naturally on a larger scale, since the state and the people will be on your side,” he concluded.
