“We will not give in. This is a false alternative. We will not give up on the state, but that does not mean giving up on strawberries. We will have both the state and the strawberries, we will have AI factories, a developed energy sector, prosperity, independence, development, and the state,” Pashinyan said.
According to the Prime Minister, no one should think that Armenia will have to choose between prosperity and the state. “No. We have chosen that the state is an instrument of prosperity, and the state should bring us prosperity, happiness, and development from generation to generation,” he said.
