Fri day, 10 July 2009
The Prime Minister mentioned that the government has decreed to
hold a general census from October 12 through to October 21, 2011,
with a primary one to be held from April 14 through to April 23 in
Sevan town of Gegharkunik marz and Getahovit, Gandzakar, Achajur
and Khashtarak rural communities of Tavush marz. An estimate of
expenditures is already out to a total amount of AMD 2.5 billion for
five years covering the period from 2009 to 2013. The estimate was
approved at the first sitting of the central commission on the 2011
census, which was held on March 20, 2009. 1.9 billion drams will be
spent during the year 2011. About 16 thousand temporary staff will
be involved in this process to considerably offset the impact of the
global crisis on vulnerable households.
Tigran Sargsyan said that according to finance ministry's preliminary
estimates, only 21% of the above-stated amount can be financed from
the State budget. Therefore, on behalf of his government, the head
of the Cabinet asked those present to possibly provide financial and
technical assistance to the Republic of Armenia, badly needed in a
fast-evolving global environment.
