Armenia's 2012 budget proves that the country is in a deep crisis
and that it is not a social budget at all, activist of the opposition
Armenian National Congress (HAK) Vahagn Khachatryan has said.
Speaking at a HAK rally on Liberty Square late on Friday, Khachatryan
called next year's budget a "show".
"One looks into the budget and wants to understand what they
[government] are doing. Nothing! It is just a show," said he.
"The 101 billion [dram] budget is planned at the expense of increased
prices, inflation. That is to say, they do nothing. The 2012 budget
is not a social one; it does not ensure our well-being," Khachatryan
explained.
Further, he said that instead Armenia's foreign debt is on the
increase.
"Do you want the country to go bankrupt? Do you want the country
to reach the situation in Greece?" Khachatryan addressed a question
to government.
He also said that the ruling authorities backtracked on their campaign
pledges as poverty has not been reduced; it has rather been tripled,
while medical services are not affordable for ordinary citizens.
