ARTASHAT. – We should learn to respect our values in Armenia. My team and I guarantee that we will not establish businesses and will not get rich on your account, Armenian Heritage party leader and a presidential candidate Raffi Hovannissian told the voters on Tuesday in Artashat city in Armenia’s Ararat Region, Armenian News-NEWS.am reports.

“I am asked whether I can protect the vote of the electorate and I answer surely that I can do it but solely my efforts are not enough, you should help me. We should do all that is possible for overcoming own fears and preventing the Armenian youth from leaving the country. I will increase expenses for science, education and healthcare by 50 percent and during the first year of the presidency pensions will be increased by 50 percent as well. In five years we will have 180,000 new jobs, while 600,000 people will stop being poor. And all these are the minimum what I promise,” the presidential candidate stated.
