By saying an individual effort the PM means the founders of the Karahunj winehouse who came from the Diaspora and created a new reality in Armenia.

“By saying an individual effort I mean the Hayrapetyan Brothers CJSC which manages Lake Parz for many years by creating a new business culture. I mean a businessman from Ijevan Andranik Ghazaryan who reached success in Ukraine, returned to Armenia and soon thanks to him a new proposal will be made in Ijevan’s real estate market in the form of multi-apartment building”, Nikol Pashinyan said.

The PM said the government is seeking to create opportunities for the people to reveal and use their talents. Pashinyan noted that for this education, business ecosystem of course are important, but stated that the aforementioned persons achieved their success not so easy, they also overcame certain difficulties.

PM Pashinyan informed that according to the data provided by the Central Bank, the amount of reserved dollar has reached 171 million. It increased by 40 million USD in three days. “This means that money is circulated in Armenia, the blood vessels of the economy have opened, therefore we need a victory of an individual effort. The key mission of the government is to encourage the people to believe in their talents and capacities. It was possible to reach impossible political changes in Armenia with word and idea. We believe in the citizens of Armenia and thank those persons who have put a stone on the stone in our country. They are the heroes of our time”, Nikol Pashinyan added.
