A group of women went on protest against yesterday’s pronouncement
by Sergo Karapetyan, the minister of agriculture. Yesterday Sergo
Karapetyan told farmers in Shirak Marz that potato is like a daughter,
you should give her to the first one who will ask for her hand.
“You keep it, keep it, keep it, when you finally want, you say come
and take it. And they say I don’t want it, you have brought it and let
it rot. You must sell the product when the buyer comes. If one comes
after your daughter, you must give her to him, as the saying is,”
the minister said.
Demonstrators are holding posters reading “Minister, were your children
brought up by a potato?”, “Minister, can’t you tell a potato from
a girl?” and demand that Sergo Karapetyan publicly apologize to all
women. They have put potatoes in front of the building of government.
