Many young people in Armenia today are left out of college because of tuition fee. Opposition Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) leader—and business tycoon MP—Gagik Tsarukyan stated this during a meeting with about 1,500 youth wishing to join the PAP.

According to him, in many European countries there is a law that if a student is admitted to a university and has knowledge, signs a contract with the state, the state pays his tuition fee, after his graduation, finds employment for him, and during this work he pays back—within five years—his tuition fee.

Tsarukyan reflected also on university students' scholarship in Armenia, noting that it is a mere 5,000 drams a month for the past 30 years and should be increased.

In addition, the PAP leader made a proposal to provide young families with housings.

According to Tsarukyan, there is a point in their party platform, according to which those who have loans up to 3 million drams shall be freed from that burden. "If today it is the people who decide, the state is the people, then today the people are in a complete 'swamp,' they are drowning. So, you have to take a complete step, give a chance to get the ‘thorn’ out of the person’s ‘finger,’" he said.

Also, Gagik Tsarukyan proposed to increase pensions in Armenia by 10 percent every year.
