Narek Karapetyan: The Civil Contract Party Only Excels at Paving Asphalt

I plan to tell you what will happen after the change of power, so that we do not move from one problem to another. The first priority should be peaceful work and a stable country. The leaders of the country must focus on work every day and eliminate poverty in our nation as soon as possible. This was stated by Narek Karapetyan, the coordinator of the 'Our Way' movement, during a rally.

'Today, in our country, there are 500,000 people unemployed in the regions. For years, we have found culprits for our poverty and fought against them, but we should not fight against the culprits but against poverty itself. Every day, the entire state system must strive to ensure that Armenia overcomes poverty in the 21st century,' he emphasized.

He added that all regions of Armenia, including Yerevan and its administrative divisions, should have development programs, ranging from industrial to tourism sectors. 'Today, we live from Facebook post to Facebook post. Our foreign and domestic policies are determined by Facebook. After the change of power, we also promise that we will give the 'Civil Contract' party two positions. The first position is in road construction; they like to pave asphalt, and they excel at one thing—paving asphalt. I think they will be satisfied since not much will change in their lives afterward because they are already occupied with that,' said Narek Karapetyan.
