Gurgen Arsenyan, leader of United Working Party (UWP) block, told a
briefing today that the government has submitted amendments to the Law
on Budget according to which 5% inflation is envisaged instead of 3%
(plus, minus 1.5 %)
"The government wants to make this amendment because the cost of life
has gone up by two," UWP thinks.
Grigor Ghonjeyan, UWP block member, said inflation is more important
that the exchange rate.
Ghonjeyan said the government wants to set maximum 6.5% and minimum
3.5% inflation rate. He said the parliamentarians are going to be
very active in this discussion because the currency exchange rate
has been an issue for a long time.
Arsenyan called upon the parliamentarians to seriously engage in
legislative work in order to make timely discussions of next year
budget.
Arsenyan confessed that they sometimes vote instead of their colleagues
from UWP if they leave the hall for 1 minute and ask them to vote
instead of them.
