“You cannot trample on people, you can only imprison them”: Narek Karapetyan addresses the authorities

The Armenian authorities have resorted to direct threats and insults, said Narek Karapetyan, member of the Strong Armenia party council.

“In recent days, the authorities have begun using offensive language in their public statements, trying to show that they can pressure anyone. You may boast, but you cannot trample on people, you can only imprison them. That you certainly can do, I have nothing to say about that. No one disputes it,” he said.

Commenting on his visit to Armavir region, Karapetyan noted both positive and negative aspects.

“The positive was that the villagers are ready to work and grow fruits and vegetables that are in demand and can be sold profitably. The negative side lies in the water shortage problem, the absence of procurement, and the state’s inability to address economic issues. The economy does not develop on asphalt alone. An economic policy is needed so that people can turn a profit from sales. In Gegharkunik province, the situation was somewhat more acute, the unemployment rate there is much higher, but people want to work,” said Karapetyan.
