ArmInfo.All members of the Cabinet of Ministers of Armenia receive a salary of one and a half million drams, and constantly declare that there is no money. This was stated in an interview with reporters by the head of the Bright Armenia faction Edmond Marukyan. He noted that in May, when all restrictions will be lifted, many people can realize that they lost their jobs., the MP asked.
According to the MP, those subscribers who paid for utilities were cut from the budget, which was provided for food and for basic necessities. , added Edmon Marukyan.
The head of the Bright Armenia stated that there are 200 billion drams of "free money" in the country that can be spent without prejudice to other state projects. When asked by journalists that the country's leadership did not expect that the state of emergency in Armenia would last longer than a month, Marukyan said: "The government should provide for a possible development of the situation. Moreover, it was initially clear that they intended to extend the state of emergency. I believe that for those citizens whose debt is less than 60,000 drams, gas and electricity should not be turned off. You should fix a certain amount and turn off the lights and gas for those who use the situation and have money, but do not pay. The state has reserve funds and should be given to the people. A similar practice was applied in Georgia, Denmark, the USA and a number of other countries>, the MP emphasized. The head of the Bright Armenia emphasized that the US leadership distributed $ 1,200 to all residents of the country, and $ 500 to children, regardless of whether they were provided or not. , concluded Marukyan.
