Former head of enlarged Alaverdi community joins `Strong Armenia`  party

ArmInfo.  Arkady Tamazyan, former head of the enlarged Alaverdi community in the Lori region, has joined Samvel Karapetyan's "Strong Armenia" party. He announced this on his Facebook page.

"Recognizing the challenges facing our country during this crucial  and decisive period, I want to announce that I have joined the  "Strong Armenia" party. This step of mine is driven by a sincere  desire to serve exclusively the homeland and strengthen the  foundations of our statehood," Tamazyan noted.

Speaking about the reasons for his choice, he noted that today the  Armenian people find themselves in a situation where silence and  indifference are tantamount to voluntary defeat and destruction. He  expressed his conviction that today, the country's revival is only  possible if the Armenian people unite around national values,  primarily the Armenian Apostolic Church and the Armenian army. "These  are the foundations of the value system that has supported and  continues to support us, and they must become the cornerstone of our  strengthening.

Without spiritual values and a combat-ready army, we cannot have a  dignified future.

Today, I have chosen the Strong Armenia party because it is led by  the next Prime Minister, Samvel Karapetyan. A man whose activities,  from building churches to large-scale economic projects, are aimed at  only one goal - strengthening the homeland," noted the former head of  the Alaverdi community.

Tamazyan emphasized that the Strong Armenia party is a union of  pragmatic, active, and patriotic people, which he joins with great  confidence. "We are fighting for our species, for our faith, and for  the secure future of our children. Change is possible with Samvel  Karapetyan; we will no longer be weak. With a united and firm will  for a strong Armenia," the politician concluded.

As a reminder, on April 9, following its congress, the Strong Armenia  party presented the approved list of the first 36 candidates for its  electoral list for the upcoming parliamentary elections in Armenia,  scheduled for June 7, 2026. On March 31, the party announced it would  participate in the elections as the "Strong Armenia with Samvel  Karapetyan" bloc.
