"There is an optimization problem in the state system, and some
employees must be laid off," Armenia’s Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan
said at a government session today.

In his words the salaries paid to those to be laid off shall remain
at the disposal of the ministries and will be used for rewarding
other employees.

Tigran Sargsyan also said that a political decision has jointly been
made with the World Bank which will see the program implementation
offices integrate the ministries.

"The integration must be carried out in a way so that the best
specialists of the program implementation offices work at the
ministries with high-paid salaries," said Sargsyan.

Further the premier instructed the ministers to design a program
within four months which will state how many employees can be laid off.
