"The Mustached Collective Farmer": Armenia Responds Harshly To Lukashenko

Investment will pour into the country.

Arkady Vartanyan, a political science Ph.D. and public figure from Armenia , responded to Lukashenko’s jibe directed at Yerevan:

— That mustachioed collective farmer Lukashenko said that “nobody needs Armenia.” Nothing of the sort. It turns out that everyone needs it: the West, the East, the North, and the South. Now you’ve seen for yourselves that everyone needs it, and you’ll see it more clearly every day, because investments will start flowing in here. And those investments won’t be stolen by those in power. New jobs and industrial enterprises will be created.

It should be noted that Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan reacted sharply to dictator Lukashenko’s statement that Armenia is “of no use to anyone,” and declared that Yerevan will no longer be left without alternatives.
