VIDEO: Five Questions to Samvel Karapetyan. What Will He Do with a 1 Dram Salary?
Leader of the 'Strong Armenia' party, Samvel Karapetyan, has stated that all patriots will be targeted under the current government, as it is complying with Aliyev's demands. According to Karapetyan, the Armenian authorities are doing what Azerbaijan and Aliyev could not achieve in 30 years, but after their victory, the heroes will again become heroes.
Referring to his party's announcement about receiving a 1 Dram salary if he becomes Prime Minister, he noted that since Nikol Pashinyan will not have the opportunity to receive bonuses after June 7, he will offer 'Varchabendi' to continue its activities and will transfer 1 Dram to them every month.
Karapetyan expressed his belief that the current authorities prefer a poor society, as they cannot acknowledge people living decently and can only govern the impoverished, elevating pensions by 10,000 drams to dictate their own non-patriotic rhetoric.
Speaking about the peace prize awarded to Pashinyan and Aliyev, he characterized it as a form of external governance and a hidden bribe. According to him, since the Prime Minister cannot receive any award within the country, such measures dictate conditions to him by exploiting his weaknesses.
