«Have You Been Educated or Not?» - Kerobyan to Journalist

"There is even a shortage of shepherds in villages, and they are forced to bring shepherds from different countries," stated the Acting Minister of Economy, Vahan Kerobyan, during a conversation with reporters after the Government session, emphasizing that there are numerous job opportunities in Armenia and there is no need to go abroad for work.

"Who has approached you to find a shepherd... please take our conversation seriously.... Are you saying that all ministers in Armenia are bringing shepherds from abroad?" asked the journalist.

"I urge you to remain within the limits of correctness and not to descend to street level... Have you been educated, or not?" responded Kerobyan. "For example, in Sevan, there is a very good pedigree sheep farm, and they are looking for a shepherd with a salary of 200,000 drams a month, and they are trying to find one from other countries. I can give the example of Spitak," the Acting Minister continued.
