I have done charity, I am doing it, I will do it, no one can deprive me of that

“I did charity work when Nikol Pashinyan was not yet born,” the leader of the “Strong Armenia” party, national philanthropist Samvel Karapetyan said about this in a conversation with journalists in the courtyard of the court, commenting on Nikol Pashinyan’s recent statement that he will deprive Samvel Karapetyan of the opportunity to do charity work.

Karapetyan reminded that he did charity when Nikol Pashinyan was not yet born, or he had a $1,500 business and was running around under the tables looking for sponsors.

“I did it, I am doing it and I will do it because I am doing it for Armenia, for the Armenian people and for all of Armenia. No one can deprive me of that desire,” stressed Karapetyan. Referring to the government’s decisions to seize the businesses belonging to the family of PAP leader Gagik Tsarukyan and appoint managers, Karapetyan said, let them manage for a while. “You see, people are Gyormamish people, they want to manage something in their lives, now we give it to them, let them manage it. They will not leave any stone unturned, they had a chance, “Hrazdan Cement” has been in their hands for several years, let them manage it, you will see what they will do with the same cement and cognac factory.observed Karapetyan.

Referring to the international investment environment in Armenia against the background of all this, Samvel Karapetyan noted that there was no international investor in Armenia under these authorities. “They only made pre-election announcements. You journalists can study, in 2024-25, six months of 2026 have passed, how many international investors were there and what amount they invested,” he said.
