"Strong Armenia" unveils initiative to establish poverty alleviation  fund

ArmInfo.  The "Strong Armenia" party has introduced an initiative to establish a Poverty Alleviation Fund, as announced by Narek Karapetyan, a member of the party's  political council, in a video published on his Facebook page.

According to Karapetyan, the fund will cover water and electricity  expenses for low-income families. "Not a single family in Armenia  will have to pay for electricity and water. These costs will be  covered by the Poverty Alleviation Fund, which will be financed by  our partners and representatives of the Armenian Diaspora. With this  step, we will permanently eradicate poverty in Armenia. People will  no longer be forced to spend their last remaining funds on these  utilities," the political council member stated.

In turn, Samvel Karapetyan, the leader of the "Strong Armenia" bloc,  stated that he guarantees the implementation of this program, as well  as all other economic initiatives presented by their political force  in recent months. Furthermore, he expressed his gratitude to the  Armenian people for their support throughout this period,  specifically acknowledging the tens of thousands of citizens who  gathered for the political force's rally on June 3 at Republic Square  to campaign for the removal of the current administration.  "I appeal  to our people: give us five minutes of your time and come to the  polling stations, and we will give you a prosperous life and a strong  Armenia. You deserve a change," Karapetyan concluded.
