Aurora Humanitarian Initiative co-founder, entrepreneur Ruben Vardanyan has noted that “if the “usual” model of changes repeats itself and this nicknamed one is replaced by another, this oligarch by another, it will mean the end.”

Mediamax reports that Ruben Vardanyan has made that statement in the interview to Azatutyun Radio.

“The young people who have taken to the streets want to see no more oligarchs and people with monikers.

In 1988, when I was very young, I took part in the protests with great enthusiasm and I remember people taking to the streets by hundreds of thousands, while the Supreme Council could not understand their demands or change its stance. But what happened afterwards? The children’s author became the biggest oligarch,” said Vardanyan.

Touching on the movement led by Nikol Pashinyan and Serzh Sargsyan’s resignation, the Aurora co-founder has commented:

“I respect what Nikol Pashinyan has done, but this isn’t his personal victory. This is the victory of the people and we need to be able to use that strength for good things.”

According to Vardanyan, Armenians shouldn’t expect anyone to come and make the country a haven.

“It will not happen. All problems cannot be solved in one day and people won’t become richer in one day. Don’t believe those who promise to attract USD 15 billion of investment. People who talk like that have no idea about these sums of money,” noted the entrepreneur.
