Sargis Asatryan, who ceased to be the chairman of the Armenian Youth
Party by the party assembly decision of December 2, intends to continue
his "political and reporting" career. By saying a reporting career,
he means that he was the reporter of "Burg" TV series for 6 years
on one of the Armenian TV companies that stopped the air in March,
last year. Asatryan says he is going to resume the program in the
course of the next year slightly changing its format.

In terms of politics, his programs are very ambitious, as he said. He
plans to initiate an "extensive political force" that will gain the
"absolute majority" during the next parliamentary elections. The
Armenian Youth Party is going also to submit a suggestion to the
newly elected president on building a "financial and youth city"
that will enable to shift the financial capacities focused in Yerevan
to another place in the course of 10-15 years. For that reason, they
anticipate that 150 ha land will be donated to them on Yerevan-Gyumri
highway. "This program will connect two big cities. It will be a
financial capital and investment and financial streams will flow
there," Asatryan said without detailing who will finance that big
project.
