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.
