STYOPA SAFARYAN. LET GALUST SAHAKYAN URGE HIS AUTHORITIES LIVE MODESTLY
January 17 2014
The Government of the Republic of Armenia has published the
expenditures for the year-end souvenirs on its website. According
to the publication, the RA Government staff has spent AMD 5.7
million from the state budget only on last November, mostly on
souvenir-beverages. In this regard, Styopa Sahakyan, Secretary of
the "Heritage" faction, in conversation with Aravot.am, noted that
he does not consider this expenditure cost-effective. He believes
that the money would be more appropriate to feed a hungry child or to
conduct another public beneficial action. "If the government is said
to give AMD 5 million to build a village kindergarten, they would
again cry saying, "there are no funds". As said by Styopa Safaryan,
the government does not absolutely understand what kind of society
it governs, what part of the problems available in the society is
due to it, what part of the poverty is due to it, and does not look
adequately at the reality. "There is at least no one to explain them
to put an end to all of it, you should not feast during the plague."
As said by Mr. Safaryan, he is not against spending money, however,
he thinks that there is no need for affording luxury, and it's time to
put an end to the style of Eastern hospitality. "You are not better
guys than the Pope of Rome. And, in general, instead of urging people
to a modest living, let Galust Sahakyan, first and foremost, make
such urge to his authorities and be sure of their modest living."
