Narek Karapetyan, a member of the political council of the Strong Armenia party and the head of its electoral list, said voters should choose a leader with extensive experience in delivering change so that “Gavar can once again become a brand.” He presented details of the party’s election program.
“Over the past eight years, poverty in Gegharkunik has increased, potato and wheat cultivation areas have declined by 30-35 percent, factories have closed, and people are not allowed to catch fish,” Karapetyan said, according to Armenpress.
He added that jobs must be created so people can build a good life in the region.
“Fish farms will be created throughout the Sevan region, and Lake Sevan will become a major fish-breeding area. People will be given the opportunity to fish in the lake and sell their catch to factories operating here,” Narek Karapetyan said.
The election campaign for Armenia’s parliamentary elections scheduled for June 7 began on May 8 and will continue until June 5. Nineteen political forces — including two alliances and 17 parties — have registered to participate.
