    Armenian premier: To mellow social tension in Armenia we have to
    fulfill obligations on timely payment of salaries, pensions and
    allowances

    ArmInfo. To mellow social tension in Armenia we have to fulfill
    obligations on timely payment of salaries, pensions and allowances,
    Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sarkisyan told journalists when replying
    to ArmInfo correspondent's question about mellowing of tension
    especially after 1 April 2009 when electric power, gas and water
    tariffs will grow.

    'Taking into account the fact that pension rose by 14% in 2009, one can
    expect this will also lead to reduction of social tension', - he said
    and added that the government is directing all its efforts to
    fulfill the programmes directed to creation of new job places. The
    operative headquarters under the Armenian government has already
    approved 10 such programmes which will be financed from the state
    budget. The second direction, which is considered the best, is
    supporting small and medium-sized business, which will lead to creation
    of new job places and make it possible for people to stand challenges.
    Moreover, public work programme is also being implemented. Additional
    funds from the state budget were allocated to fulfill the programme
    directed to providing temporarily jobless with public work.
