The first thing that needs to be done is to solve the security issue, and to ensure security, it is necessary to strengthen Armenia’s bond with Russia more and more. This is what leader of Prosperous Armenia Party Gagik Tsarukyan said during the political party’s election campaign in Abovyan today.

"The war showed that Russia is the only country that supported Armenian from day one. Now Armenia needs to develop the economy and use its resources. There have to be so many factories and jobs so that people come from abroad,” he stated.

According to Gagik Tsarukyan, everyone in Armenia says students are the future of the country, but nobody takes action. “Students are left out of universities since they can’t pay their tuition fees. This is a shame. All universities around the world sign loan contracts with students so that students can work and pay off their loans,” Tsarukyan emphasized.

He also talked about pensions and said it is necessary to raise them by 10% every year.
