YEREVAN, MAY 13, NOYAN TAPAN. 2.8 billion drams was envisaged by the
2007 state budget for the RA president’s staff, and this sum was almost
completely used, the RA chief treasurer Atom Janjughazian said at the
May 13 sitting of the RA National Assembly standing committees. Out of
the indicated sum, 2.53 billion drams was envisaged for maintenance
expenditures and about 450 million drams – for major repairs of some
administrative facilities. However, during 2007, a necessity arose to
make redistribution and increase the expenditures on major repairs of
the administrative facilities by reducing the current expenditures,
and 726 million drams envisaged by the corrected program for this
purpose was completely used.

Besides, the president’s staff allocated 112.8 million drams to the
Institute of Political Studies, 100 million drams – to the anti-smoking
program and 100 million drams – to the program of state assistance
to NGOs.
