The Armenian parliament discussed draft law which envisages 40%
higher salary for top public officials starting from July 1, 2007.
Pavel Safaryan, deputy minister of finance and economy, said the bill
is connected with draft budget 2007 and is its component part. He
said the salary of top public officials have not been raised since
2003 whereas the salary of ordinary public employees has risen up to
70%. "As a result, low rank public employees may get higher salary
that top officials," he said also saying similar situation is not
observed in any other country.
In the words of the deputy minister, the draft will cost 710 million
Armenian drams also saying the salary of public officials will depend
on minimum salary which is 20,000 drams in 2007.
