Armenia

On January 10 the Armenian government made several decisions aimed
at the well-being of certain people, apparently to affect their
consciousness as the presidential election is drawing nearer, if we
believe Marx that being determines consciousness.

In accordance with the decision of the government, the monthly
honoraria of people who were awarded the title "People’s" will rise
from 28 thousand to 40 thousand drams.

By another decision from January 1, 2008 the government will pay bonus
to doctors (20 thousand drams) and candidates of science (10 thousand
drams) employed in state-financed scientific and technical programs.
