Mariam Nikolyan, 31, a resident of Ditak village in Ararat province, has decided to run as a candidate for the council of elders. The elections will be held on June 9th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mariam is a non-party, says she is ready to work in Ditak’s council, sure she will get enough votes. Has two specialties: pre-school education, and before that she studied at the Agrarian University.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “When I received the offer, I told my family members and nobody was against it. My husband asked me if I wanted to get involved. I said, why not, I also want to work in the community to solve a problem. After that I decided to nominate myself. My husband said that he will stand next to me in every way,” says Mariam.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “Women are no less intelligent, more active, even more wise, so I decided to run in order to move forward and develop our community”.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mariam has two children, she is primarily thinking about the children of the community: “I have been working in the kindergarten as a tutor, this work was a stimulus to be nominated because I think I will make the community more attractive for the children, help them to live in a better environment, live in a cheerful, healthier, environmentally-friendly environment, get in touch with the community, and then not to emigrate. I have to try my best to give them a better life. ”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mariam Nikolyan says, “How can this be achieved? “To some extent, I imagine the work in the council, but you will not be able to fully manage the situation unless you’re there.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mariam thinks almost all the communities in the community can be involved in this work: “These dried fruits should be transformed into good commodities and women have potential, some of them may find design solutions”.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “I want our women who have different talents to have a job and reach a height. I know they do not have much money, not everything depends on money, they do not even imagine how they can participate in the program. Whenever I am in the council, I think we will find ways to support them. We will bring different projects to the community, “says Mariam.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mariam Nikolyan, 31, a resident of Ditak village in Ararat province, has decided to run as a candidate for the council of elders.
