71 Armenian MPs voted for passing the budget for 2013 and 37 voted
against, News Armenia reports.
Tigran Urikhanyan of the Prosperous Armenia Party and former Prime
Minister Grant Bagratyan of the Armenian National Congress say that
the budget does not improve the life of Armenians. Bagratyan added that
the income part of the budget had not been discussed by the parliament.
Budget income and expenses increased by $3 million to $2.5 billion
and $2.8 billion respectively with a deficit of $300 million. The
parliament proposed 406 changes to the budget for 2014.
The legislatives proposed increasing income of the budget by $340
million and expenses by $1 billion. Official grants were to become
the main source of income. The highest increase of expenses by $3.7
million will target improvement of accommodation for families of
killed soldiers. Other expenses dropped by $3.2 million.
