Armen Sargsyan Will Focus on the Development of Economy
Armenia's Ambassador to the UK Armen Sargsyan, who has been offered by the country's ruling party to be nominated as the 4th President of Armenia, said that if he were to serve as president he would put all efforts to develop the economy. Armen Sargsyan stated this in an interview to "Shant" TV.
Referring to the 30% poverty rate of Armenia, Armen Sargsyan said that he did not think anyone can solve this issue with charity.
"The path of solving the issue is clear - being employed and being paid for the work, maintaining dignity, and with this coming out of poverty. If I get nominated and become president, I will put all my efforts to develop the economy and to create jobs. Having investments isn’t an end in itself," said Armen Sargsyan.
