MPS DO NOT LIVE A LIFE TO BE ENVIED BY OTHERS
09:37 pm | Today | Politics
Republican MP Hrant Grigoryan says his life has not improved following
the 7,2 percent economic growth reported in 2012.
"We live as we lived," he said.
Another lawmaker of the Republican Party of Armenia, Alexan Petrosyan,
also lives on his 'modest' wages.
"The difference of the economic growth is so trivial that one does
not feel it in life," he said.
MP Vardan Ayvazyan is no longer satisfied with his salary of 260,000
drams.
"At that time, you paid 300 drams for one dollar, today you pay 400
drams. If you compare the dollar-dram ratio and the inflation of the
recent years, you will see that we have sustained significant losses
in these years," said the Republican MP.
Paymaster General of Armenia Atom Janjughazyan is not as naïve asto say
that people will live better and there will be double-digit economic
growth. "Human needs are growing rapidly, faster than the economy,"
he said.
What can an average person dream of in a country where poverty makes
35 percent? The chief treasurer gave a simple reply, "This man will
no longer want to be poor..."
