Armenian Premier Urges Entrepreneurs To Provide Charity To People

ARMENIAN PREMIER URGES ENTREPRENEURS TO PROVIDE CHARITY TO PEOPLE

ARKA
September 17 2007

Armenian entrepreneurs will realize very soon that the key source of
their wealth is the people, Armenian Prime Minister Serge Sargsyan
said Saturday in an interview with Azg newspaper.

"Entrepreneurs should take care of the source of their income and
welfare", he said.

Sargsyan thinks businessmen should understand that they will take
advantage from people’s welfare and poverty elimination in the country.

"Children of the rich can’t be happy, if other children live in
poverty", the PM said in his interview.

He said entrepreneurs should engage in a genuine charity by targeting
a part of their income for people.

"This will be a long-term charity, not that granted from elections to
elections. A man should feel a constant necessity to make charity",
the premier said.

Sargsyan is convinced that the rich should understand that their wealth
doesn’t give them more responsibility, not rights. He said the rich
must understand that the money won’t help them pave a way to paradise –
it would be easier not to commit sins instead of expiating them later.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
