HYEDram Stablecoin Sponsors Yuri Sakunts To Promote Armenia's Strong Future

A remarkable demonstration of Armenian strength

On September 5, 2022, Armenian strongman Yuri Sakunts performed a widely publicized feat at the Ministry of Emergency Situations facility on Anastas Mikoyan Street in Yerevan. According to HYEDram's original report, he used his little finger to pull a combined 54 tons over a distance of 10 meters on level ground.

The load consisted of two fire trucks, reported to weigh 40 tons together, and a tourist bus weighing another 14 tons. The event was presented by its organizers as a new world-record achievement. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan attended, alongside other Armenian government officials.

From Charentsavan to a national stage

Sakunts grew up in Charentsavan, in Armenia's Kotayk region. His interest in moving extremely heavy objects began as a personal challenge and evolved into a way to encourage young Armenians to pursue ambitious goals. He described seeing motivated young people as a reason for optimism about the country's future.

Why HYEDram sponsored the event

HYEDram Stablecoin and HYECoin, Inc. supported the performance as part of their stated commitment to Armenia's economic and community development. HYECoin co-founder and President/CEO Tiran Antaplian characterized athletes such as Sakunts as examples of determination and hope for Armenia's next generation.

Sport, community and economic opportunity

The article also described HYEDram as a stablecoin project designed around the Armenian dram and intended to facilitate payments among participating businesses and communities.
