“In case of trusting our party, I will go to the National Assembly and introduce my knowledge and potential in responsible and honorable work for the development and awakening of our homeland,” Mane Babayan told WomenNet.am.

– I have always been active in the civil field since 2008, participated in many protests and movements.

I can say that I am well aware of the problems. In rural areas, these are mainly associated with poor agricultural conditions and lack of jobs. The first is the issue of youth employment. As a result of lack of employment, they leave for work abroad, and villages and towns are dumped day by day. This is a painful problem, the solution to which should be started right now. The next problem is the non-rational use of land, the absence of a free marketplace, as well as the availability of irrigation water, agricultural disaster, mainly hail, newest technologies, low interest rates, factories and price competition, investment and various issues. And the third is the absence of cultural, industrial, educational, sporting events and active life, which in its turn leads to the abandonment of villages and cities.

I think women should receive high-quality education, have a profession, be independent, societal, political, and cultural. The role of women in both public and political life has its clear, significant role and importance. Gender inequality is generally unacceptable.

As I am a beginner in politics, I am just beginning to take steps to speak about the resolution or difficulty of success, I only know that love to the homeland and the people will overcome all the difficulties and obstacles.
