The RA citizens do not believe that the sums deposited to the soviet
banks will be returned, even despite the promise made by Prime Minister
Andranik Margaryan to allocate 1 billion AMD for this purpose.

The compensation will be paid within the strategic program on poverty
reduction. It is not ruled out that the depositors will not be happy
to receive the sums, since it is already clear that the sum will make
no more that a month’s salary. It was proposed to return the deposits
in 1000:30 relation. ($30 for 1000 rubles). Is it more profitable to
receive little money now or it is worth to wait for better times? We
addressed 100 citizens with this question.

“The deposits should be compensated. People have worked for years
and saved money. I would better wait to receive more”, a man of 50
said. 28% of the respondent agree with him.

36% consider that the RA government should launch the compensation
process beginning with the next year. “It is better to take what they
offer and not to live in expectations”, a pensioner said.

26% think that the matter should be settled legislatively. 10%
were undecided.
