OPPOSITION MP ARTSVIK MINASYAN PROPOSES TO REJECT 2012 DRAFT BUDGET
Tert.am
16.11.11
MP for the opposition party Armenian Revolutionary Federation
(Dashnaktsutyun, ARF-D) Artsvik Minasyan has suggested rejecting the
draft of 2012 budget and demanded the government to resign.
Speaking at the parliament on Wednesday, Minasyan pointed at the fact
that the government has backtracked on its pledges.
He also said that the government had pledged to raise teachers'
salary up to an average of 207,000 drams (approx. $545) in 2012,
while the real figure for next year is 117,900 drams (approx. $310).
"This is the real situation of your promises," said Minasyan during
his speech.
"You promised to make Armenia's business and investment environment
one of the ten best in the world through second-generation of reforms.
Tell me, at what place are you today?" asked Minasyan.
Further, he said that the state budget is the mirror of the social and
economic policy implemented in the country, and because that policy is
"failed," the budget cannot be nicer.
"If there is neither will nor decisiveness, it means you all know the
way out. Resignation! Yes, it is good you know, but even knowing it
you do not want to make that step," said Artsvik Minasyan.
