Government changes New Year holiday calendar



YEREVAN, DECEMBER 14, ARMENPRESS. The government of Armenia approved
the bill on amending the “Holiday and Commemoration Days” law, whereby
the 3rd, 4th and 5th of January will no longer be considered holidays
in Armenia.

Chief of Staff of the government Vahe Stepanyan said at the Cabinet
meeting that the amendments will come into force from June 1, 2018.

The bill was passed unanimously.

The amendments come as the government found it necessary to consider
only the Armenian Christmas holidays. And the fact that those 3 days
are non business days is also inappropriate in social-economic terms.
