Recently, during meetings, I am often asked what slogan we will go to the elections with.
I can say one thing for sure. It will not happen that we start thinking nice words, nice sentences in a closed room. The slogan should be natural, coming from people, from real life.
Every day I communicate with hundreds of people of all social classes, of different ages.
What do people want?
– That they live peacefully and safely in their country,
– That peace should not be in the air, on words, but be guaranteed
– That there be fair manners in the country,
– So that young people don’t think about leaving the country,
– That having a child should not be considered a burden, but a happiness, that having a home should not be a dream, but a problem to be solved,
– That the business is protected,
– That living in the village should be profitable and profitable,
– Let the one with knowledge and hard work go ahead, not the friend of this and that,
– That educated, honest people, those with knowledge and experience occupy a worthy place in the state administration system, not according to party affiliation,
– That there should be an atmosphere of internal solidarity in the country, not that everyone hates or envies everyone else,
– That people can plan their lives in their country for years, so that there is growth and development year after year,
– That our country has allies,
– For the Armenian to overcome today’s poverty,
– For the Armenian to become respected in the world, enjoying prestige, helping his relatives.
At first glance, these are simple, simple human desires. But it is from these simple desires that the public atmosphere is formed, which helps to have a positive thinking, creative society, it is this atmosphere that creates a strong, safe country. So, to choose a slogan, you just have to listen to people, and transcribed artificially cute words will not change anything. That slogan should be the general proposal of our society for the development and future of our country. It should summarize our collective offer to our country, the Offer to Armenia.
We will do so. We will create that slogan together and make it a reality together.
