At the “Pastark” press club, the journalists asked the parliamentary candidate of the “Tsarukyan” alliance, Michael Melkumyan that “Gagik Tsarukyan mentioned in the meeting with the citizens that the benchmark of the loan interests should be lowered. Why does Gagik Tsarukyan not open a bank to give people loans at cheap interest rates?” Michael Melkumyan explained that according to the offer of the Alliance, the agricultural loans should be with 2-5 percent interest rate.
As for Gagik Tsarukyan’s opening a bank, Melkumyan said, “Every man must be busy with its own business. First, there must be such a desire. Tsarukyan is mainly involved in the production, it is a business-style. He shares his funds with people but one cannot keep the country with charity only, it must be done at the state level.” The parliamentary candidate mentioned that their election program explains that it is possible to define low-interest loans.
