According to Ararat Zurabyan, a member of the Tsarukyan Bloc faction, the Armenian society will manage to restore the constitutional order twenty years later.

“A serious and new process has started in Armenia, there are results, a great deal has been done to reveal March 1.”

According to him, Nikol Pashinyan has much more information about the March 1 case than ordinary citizens.

Ararat Zurabyan is a candidate for mayor. According to him, the chances of all the candidates are equal.

“I have headed the community center for six years, I know the problems.”

Ararat Zurabyan considers it wrong to separate urban problems from others.

“They speak about the elevators, but I will start from pre-school institutions, the noise of the youth during the hours of the night in the city, all of them are equally important.”

Ararat Zurabyan highlits the primary issue.

“They are the city’s revenues, Yerevan has budget of eighty billion drams, almost half of Armenia’s population is centralized in Yerevan, the money allocated to the capital is too small to solve problems.”

According to him, he respects other candidates but he has one argument.

“I know one thing, if I take my relative to a doctor, I try to find someone who can cure him.”

Ararat Zurabyan is convinced that he will win the elections.

Diaspora Minister Mkhitar Hayrapetyan expresses an opinion that the Diaspora should not be regarded as an automated teller machine. According to him, our relations should be mutually beneficial: Armenia cares about the Diaspora, the Diaspora cares about Armenia.

According to the minister, 100 households in the United States have resettled homes for sale and want to come to Armenia.

“Repatriates are interested in two factors: the legality in the country and the availability of jobs. There is no longer any problem for the first point, they trust the current government, and the creation of jobs requires time. And integration, language issues cannot cause serious problems,” he said.
