Karabakh-Open.com often asks the pensioners resting at the central
park of Stepanakert to comment on one issue or another. We also learn
a lot of interesting news there.

Today the old gentlemen were less discontent and said at last
they raise pensions by 60 percent. They said they used to discuss
pensions in terms of dreams and disappointment and did not expect the
government would raise the pensions. Nevertheless, they have reason
to be dissatisfied. "It makes no difference. They raise the pension,
but prices are also rising," said Yervand Balayan, a pensioner,
adding that they are again cheated.

Nikolay Petrosyan sitting on the same bench says it is not worthwhile
to say often in what a good country we live in, how kind our government
is, how they raised our pensions by 60 percent. "They are merely
giving back our money to us," he says.
