According to the NKR Statistics Service, weddings over the past
three quarters were fewer by 100 compared with the same period of
the past year.
At the same time, the birth rate has gone up while the rate of death
is down.
There is no need for sophisticated sociological analyses to answer the
question how it happened. At the beginning of the election campaign
in spring Bako Sahakyan, still a presidential candidate, pledged 300
thousand drams to each young couple on wedding. As a president, Bako
Sahakyan kept his promise. The prime minister has already stated that
the sum will be allocated from next year’s budget. After January 1.
Therefore, young people have put off their desires. There have been
cases when the bride and the groom withdrew their application for
registering their marriage. In fact, numerous wedding salons and
restaurants suffered.
Usually it is impossible to hire a hall for wedding in September
and October, now it is not a problem. Dresses can be hired for a
smaller pay.
Never mind. Everything will be fine after January 1. Only the budget
needs to prepare to be able to supply the demand in wedding presents.
