YEREVAN, OCTOBER 26, NOYAN TAPAN. 63 issues and 16 international
agreements are on the agenda of the RA National Assembly's regular
four-day session that started on October 26.
After approving the agenda the parliament adopted the issues discussed
at the previous four-day session, including the 2008 annual report
on the implementation of the 2006-2007 program of state property
privatization. By the report, in 2008, 7 companies included in the
program were privatized, 4 of which were privatized through direct
sale (including on condition of assuming the obligation to make
investments, and on other obligations), and 3 companies were privatized
at auction. Out of money received from privatization, 555.2 million
drams was transferred to the privatization account of the RA state
budget and 69.25 million drams was transferred to community budgets.
The National Assembly passed in the first reading bills on additions
and amendments to a number of laws. Particularly, the amendment to the
RA Family Code, proposed by members of the NA Standing Committee on
Social Affairs, envisages fixing the minimum alimony for each child
at 10 thousand drams (about 26 USD) instead of 1,000 drams. In case
the alimony paying parent is unemployed and receives an unemployment
benefit, the amount of the alimony cannot be less than 20% of the
unemployment benefit.
