As the campaigning period began in Armenia on Friday, the Strong Armenia party, led by Samvel Karapetyan, gathered outside the parliament building to present its manifesto to voters.
Narek Karapetyan, the party leader’s nephew and a senior party member, together with fellow party member Davit Ghazinyan, held a press briefing during the event.
Karapetyan said that, in the event of securing a majority in the June 7 parliamentary elections, the party would implement policies that “people would directly feel in their income and daily lives,” with a clear improvement in living standards.
“We plan to provide 100,000–150,000 drams per month to extremely poor families with more than five members. Seventy percent of this amount will be funded by wealthy Armenian businesspeople around the world, and the state will contribute only 30 percent,” Karapetyan said.
He called on the people of Armenia to participate in the elections and, if they want change, to vote for his political force.
Ghazinyan said the party has presented a realistic program, will not make populist promises, and will remain honest with the public.
“We are moving forward, and we are confident that we will have a strong Armenia,” Ghazinyan said.
