Karbi resident: How does it happen that a lawmaker can buy a Jeep, while a farmer cannot? (video)
The next stop of the participants of the “Yes” and “No” TV project was Karbi village in Aragatsotn marz. The village has a problem with the water supply and the locals began the meeting calling attention to the issue. In response to the villagers, Republican lawmaker Samvel Farmanyan said, This has nothing to do with the Constitution, I promise that after December 6 I shall come back to the village with relevant specialists to solve the problem.” Margarita Yesayan, another lawmaker from the Republican Party of Armenia (HHK), advised people to say “Yes” to the amended constitution. “I promise you that everything will change on December 7 but I promise you that changes will occur gradually.” Just at that moment, one of the villagers asked the lawmaker, “Can you explain to us how it happens that a lawmaker can buy a Jeep with his/her work, while a farmer cannot afford one. Things will remain the same even after the change of the constitution.” “No, no. things will better and you will get married, I assure you. I shall take you out of your domik [temporary shelter],” Mrs Yesayan said.
