ArmInfo. Employees of the  disbanded ministries and departments, will be warned on their  dismissal about 3 months beforehand. This was stated by Head of the  Prime Minister's staff, Edward Aghajanyan.

He also noted that another 3 months, employees of these structures  will receive a salary. "Thus, they will have 6 months to find a new  job," Aghajanyan concluded.

To note, employees of the disbanded ministries of Culture and the  Diaspora today held a protest rally demanding that the government not  disband these departments. Meanwhile, the Armenian government plans  to disband the Ministry of Culture, and one part of its departments  to merge with the Ministry of Education and Science, the other – with  the City Planning Committee. It is not knwon yet which agency wil  perform Diaspora Ministry's functions, but as the other day acting  Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan noted, in the functions of almost all  Armenian ministries there is a component of working with the  Diaspora. Let us note that months earlier one of Pashinyan's advisers  declared the government's intention is to reduce about 110 thousand  public sector employees, against the background that in general about  160 thousand employees work in the state field. To recall, as a  result of reforming the structure of the Government in Armenia,  instead of 17 ministries, it is planned to leave 12.
