“Our villages are the chief source of Armenia’s national potential and economic growth,” Hovannisian said. “They are long due for a serious investment—to develop farms, install cheap agricultural equipment, efficiently fertilize local resources, and ensure not only ever greater production but also firmer security along our borders. None of this is possible without a supportive state system that encourages investment through fair and consistent regulation.”

 

Later in the day, Raffi Hovannisian visited the Sardarapat memorial, and paid tribute to the memory of Armenian troops who sacrificed their lives to liberate the homeland.

 

As always, Hovannisian strongly urged constituents to actively participate in the upcoming elections, and vote freely and fearlessly for their preferred candidate.
