Armenian villager number one patriot - MP
16:19 - 27.05.13
Alik Petrosyan, an MP from the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), who
initiated the establishment of a fund to support the victims of
natural disasters, calls on Armenia's 1,000 major taxpayers, eighty
parties and international donor organizations, foreign diplomatic
missions in Armenia and the Armenian Diaspora to support the
hail-stricken villagers in the Armavir region, Armenia.
At his meeting with journalists on Monday, the MP said that the
Armenian farmer is `a real patriot.'
`I am now appealing to the eighty political parties that take every
chance to express their commitment to the people. It is a good chance
for each of them to prove their being beside the villagers,' Petrosyan
said.
He is satisfied with the government-planned aid.
Also, Armenia's Police decided to transfer AMD 11m, all the 131
members of Armenia's Parliament and the Central Bank of Armenia (CBA)
have promised help.
Petrosyan could not report anything about the money transferred to the
fund's account, because no bank operations were effected on days off.
`Those people are not begging. They are workers - intelligent and
patriotic workers. It is cultivating land and producing wealth is what
patriotism means,' the MP said.
The fund will continue its activities until August 1, 2013, to help
the 12,000 families that sustained hailstorm-caused damages in the
Armavir region.
