Video: I Worked Day and Night, Weighing 140 kg I Became 85 kg. Gagik Tsarukyan

“Border communities have been my constant focus for years, as it is the working person who builds the country, creates yield and prosperity, and guards the border,” wrote Gagik Tsarukyan, the leader of the Prosperous Armenia party, alongside a video posted on his Facebook page.

During a meeting with residents in the Gegharkunik region, Tsarukyan shared his journey of earning money: “I come from a worker's family. I dreamed if I would be able to earn 3000 rubles per month. Everyone knows how I made my first 100,000 rubles; I grew mushrooms and worked day and night. I went from weighing 140 kilograms to 85 kilograms,” Tsarukyan said.
