ArmInfo. "We must defeat the country’s internal enemy- 25% poverty",
RA Prime Minister, Leader of Republican Party of Armenia (RPA),

According to the prime minister, in 2010 poverty in Armenia will make
up 10 %. "It is possible to overcome poverty only by way of diligent
and serious work. Work must be the main source for the nation’s

population", he emphasized. Serzh Sargsyan also said that during
the passed parliamentary election RPA promised to increase pensions
by 50% and raised them by 60%. This is evidence that RPA keeps its
