Citizens should receive education, villagers should be engaged in farming - lawmaker (video)
Addressing his fellow colleagues in the Friday special sitting of the Armenian parliament, Republican lawmaker Hakob Hakobyan first thanked Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan for not forcing lawmakers to read the 500-page government program, but only a 30-page summary of it. “If you want to have a healthy society and not spend money on medicine, you should lead a healthy lifestyle. If you do not want war, you should spend money on armament. If you want to eliminate the evil of the society called poverty, you should create workplaces. Imagine a state that has two left hands. You need to put them in their right places for them to be able to function correctly,” the lawmaker said. “Someone living in a village should be engaged in farming, citizens should receive education and be engage with small and medium sized businesses. The primary task is to provide people with employment opportunities. No one has a magic wand, but unity for the sake of our purpose and for the sake of our citizens will serve the political purpose which is called a magic wand," Mr. Hakobyan added. “Mr. Hakobyan, do not believe in magic wands, they exist in fairy tales. Only hard work, hope and faith win in real life,” said Eduard Sharmazanov, Vice-Speaker of the National Assembly.
