GOVERNMENT LAVISHES MONEY FOR WORLD WAR II VETERANS

On Thursday, Armenian government approved amendments to the law on
World War II veterans at its regular session.

The amendments envisage a 3,000-dram benefit for veterans and
4,500-dram benefit for disabled veterans to help them pay for utilities
and public transportation.

GOVERNMENT FORK OUT MONEY FOR LAW-INCOME FAMILIES

The government also decided that families living in poverty will pay
only 30% for round-the-clock water supply and 15% in the event of a
few-hour daily water supply.

OTHER DECISIONS

Amendments were made also in the 2003 government’s decision on
Armenia’s representatives in European Court.

The government included Kotayk region’s areas in the list of
state-protected territories intended for rest.
