At today’s special session of the National Assembly Nikol Pashinyan, the sole candidate of the Prime Minister, answers the MPs’ questions.
Member of the RPA faction Hakob Hakobyan noticed that the pre-electoral program, which he had looked through does not include the social sphere issue.” And it seems that you will make your alliance plan your future politics. It was mentioned in your plan that the population of Armenia should be doubled and become 5.6 million in 20 years, in the case when you voted against 4 million included in our program. Did you vote for it because it was too small or impossible to do so? Please also speak on your plan for pensions, wages and poverty. “
“I do not know what you mean by saying” you voted against “the 4 million, but if I can, I will vote against it because that’s a lie. In a country where police, political, and tax terror is taking place, the population in that country cannot increase. Emigration is a response to all the terrors that occur in Armenia during these 20 years. Now I officially state that this page is closed. There is a very simple solution to poverty and social issues. We have relevant budget revenues and in general, income, economy that is capable of providing people with minimal and perhaps even smaller needs. The reason for one of today’s changes is that the Armenian community understood that the solution to that problem can no longer be connected with trust with the ruling majority. I receive dozens of calls from Diaspora’s rich people who say they will come forward and invest in Armenia. People do not invest in Armenia, because they do not want this reality, that is, to deal with the reality that existed 20 days ago. Our economy is expected to have a leap forward development,” Nikol Pashinyan said.
