GOVERNMENT SET TO ASSIST NATURAL DISASTER-HIT FARMERS
19:01 10.07.2014
A Cabinet sitting was held today, chaired by Prime Minister Hovik
Abrahamyan. Opening the meeting, the Prime Minister said, "Yesterday we
paid a visit to Shirak Marz and called at several local communities. We
are facing a serious problem, with about 21 communities having lost
100% of crops due to a devastating hailstorm.
I have instructed the local governments, the community administrations,
the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Territorial
Administration to set up a joint commission to look into the
problem. The commission is given a deadline to identify the extent
of the damage by the next Cabinet sitting so that the Government may
take a decision to support the affected farmers. It has come to my
knowledge that we face a similar situation in Stepanavan. I hereby
order the Minister of Agriculture to travel to Stepanavan and study
the situation on the spot after the cabinet meeting."
The meeting amended five previous decrees to harmonize those government
decisions aimed at enforcing the National Assembly-approved new funded
pension-related laws that were enacted on July 1, 2014.
The State Property Management Department-managed 160 homes as provided
to children left without parental care for 10-year free use were
handed over as social housing to the Ministry of Labor and Social
Affairs Ministry, which currently supervises the Social Housing
Service Center SNCO.
The meeting approved a national program of action aimed at improving
Armenia's performance under the Global Competitiveness Index. Progress
reports shall be submitted to the Ministry of Economy by the 10th
working day of the month following each half-year. The Minister of
Economy was old to summarize the reports so delivered and submit
relevant information to the Government Staff on the 15th working day
of the month following each half-year.
The Government amended one of its earlier decisions and made
reallocations in the 2014 State budget to ensure that the proceeds
of the grant facility signed between the State Migration Service
of the Ministry of Territorial Administration of the Republic of
Armenia and the Repatriation and Departure Service of the Ministry
of Security and Justice of the Kingdom of the Netherlands be used for
the reintegration of those 100 Armenia citizens who have been forced
to return to Homeland. The reintegration implies support to enter
the labor market or to start a small business, take educational or
vocational training courses, get social, legal, medical assistance
and temporary accommodation, airport arrival or other personal needs.
According to the aforementioned grant agreement, the Ministry of
Territorial Administration-affiliated State Migration Service shall
provide each repatriated citizen a maximum of 1000 euros during
a year. To this end, over 31 million drams in 2014 and about 37
million in 2015 shall be credited to the State Migration Service's
off-budget account.
