Mane Tandilian: “Every Problem is a Window for New Opportunities”

Former Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Mane Tandilian had written during her resignation that she would run for the National Assembly elections and receive a vote of confidence from the “Bright Armenia” party, ready to continue her political activities as a deputy of the National Assembly. She also noted that the reforms in the social sphere, the citizens’ concerns will always be one of the most important priorities of her activity. In this sense, it is not accidental that the pre-election program of the “Bright Armenia” party, which participates in snap parliamentary elections, has a great role in the social sphere.

Let us remind that Mane Tandilian was the only female candidate to be selected by the results of the parliamentary elections held in 2017. She was not only nominated for the snap elections, but also in Kentron, Erebuni, Nor Nork and Nubarashen in N 4 constituency of Yerevan.

• Social issues are multi-layered and deep. In addition to systemic issues, social support should be targeted and supported by income generation for families and / or individuals. For me, the priority is the problems of children, our senior friends, people with disabilities, employment issues, and many questions. But they will have a solution as a result of consistent and quality work. Children in a difficult life situation need great attention, and the priorities of our state should be the development of children and families. It is necessary to provide timely and targeted support to them. Our elderly citizens are neglected. It is necessary to implement programs aimed at their socialization and activation. Contribution is still a social issue, which cannot be accounted for by one department, it should include education, urban development, transport, health and other spheres if we really want to have a state with equal opportunities where a person is a supreme value.
