Opposition party leader: There are 270,000 unemployed people in Armenia

There are 270,000 unemployed people in Armenia. This is what leader of the opposition Liberty Party Hrant Bagratyan told reporters today.

According to him, the incumbent authorities constantly say they are creating jobs, but unemployment is still on the rise.

Touching upon the election campaign ahead of the snap parliamentary elections, Bagratyan mentioned that almost everyone claims that there are pro-Western and pro-Russian forces in Armenia.

“It turned out that there are no pro-Western forces, but there are pro-Turkish forces. Basically, the fight is between pro-Russian and pro-Turkish forces. It’s clear that my political party can’t stand with pro-Turkish forces,” he added.
