    WINTER HOLIDAYS TO LAST TILL JANUARY 10

    ARMENPRESS
    Dec 3, 2009

    YEREVAN, DECEMBER 3, ARMENPRESS: The Armenian government decided
    at its today's session to make changes and amendments in the law on
    "Armenian Holidays and Memory Days". Culture Minister Hasmik Poghosyan
    said that the commemoration day followed after Christmas and the
    Revelation days must too be declared as holiday, non-working day.

    By the currently functioning law, these days according to the Catholic
    Church rule precede the New Year. In connection with the decision,
    Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan said that it will give an
    opportunity to the citizens to organize their rest twice in a year. The
    adoption of law must be considered immediate to be able to apply this
    year. As a result during the New Year holidays the citizens will have
    an opportunity to have rest till January 10, 2010.

    The prime minister noted that this change corresponds to international
    experience. In Europe the Christmas holidays start from December 24
    and in Armenia January 6.
