A movement "In Our Way" founded in Armenia. 

ArmInfo.  A presentation of the "Mer dzevov" ("In Our Way") movement took place in Yerevan. The movement is founded at the initiative of  Samvel Karapetyan, the head of Tashir GC, who is currently in prison. It is called upon to unite people willing to serve the country and society.

Recall that Samvel Karapetyan announced the creation of the movement  "In Our Way"  on August 13, the day before the Anti-Corruption Court  considered the petition to extend his arrest. "Our goals are to  develop the economy, create real opportunities for business and  enrichment, strengthen family and national values, restore Armenia's  reputation as a reliable partner, ensure the right of the people of  Artsakh to a decent life, return the youth's faith in the future by  developing the education system, and preserve and protect our Holy  Church," the businessman said in his statement.

"We have reached a point in Armenia's socio-political life where the  people's expectations are not being met. Hatred and contradictions  are being sown,"  Narek Karapetyan, the businessman's nephew and   head of the "In Our Way" movement, said today. He expressed regret  that "some people haven't transitioned from being editors of  opposition tabloids to becoming state and unifying political  figures". "Hatred in opposition, which has become a response to  injustice, prevents it from seeing the situation calmly and without  emotion", he added. He recalled that previously the residents of  Armenia were called "proud citizens", but now they are convinced that  it is necessary to constantly make concessions, because otherwise it  is impossible.

However, the Armenian people can do it in their own way. Today we are  announcing the establishment of a voluntary movement "In Our Way","  Karapetyan noted. He explained why they are announcing the launch of  a movement, and not a political party. "A movement is a convenient  format for unification, it is not politicized, its members can be  representatives of different professions and views who can contribute  in their spare time," Karapetyan said. According to him, this does  not mean that a party will not be created, as the establishment of a  movement is the initial stage. At the second stage, a party will be  created that will take part in the upcoming parliamentary elections.

Five working groups will be created in five different areas. The  first group will focus on creating a new economy: work and welfare  for all,"  Karapetyan said. The second direction, according to him,  will be the "Big Armenian Family". This group will work on developing  a youth policy and initiatives aimed at demographic growth. The third  group will be engaged in developing a foreign policy concept, and the  fourth will work on programs to support talented young people. Narek  Karapetyan emphasized that the preservation of national values and  the Armenian Apostolic Church are the cornerstone of the third  direction of the movement.
