The force headed by Samvel Karapetyan to eliminate extreme poverty within 6 months – Narek Karapetyan

Samvel Karapetyan’s leadership would eliminate extreme poverty within six months, said Narek Karapetyan, a member of the board of the “Strong Armenia” party, during a press conference today.

“There is a phased plan: within the first five years, 300,000 jobs will be created, poverty will decline sharply, and extreme poverty will be eradicated,” Karapetyan stated.

He noted that the Tashir Group has been the largest job creator in Armenia over the past five years.

“I would prefer not to cite a specific figure at this stage, but we regularly present data on employment and taxes paid. Nikol Pashinyan claims that 280,000 jobs have been created, yet also says creating 300,000 jobs is impossible – these statements contradict each other,” Karapetyan added.
