It is possible that starting from January 1 of 2009 the salaries of statesmen may be doubled. This recommendation, which was offered by a number of MPs, is currently discussed by the NA Standing Committee on Social Issues. “At present negotiations are being held with the government to reflect the increase of salary in the budget of 2009,” told our reporter member of the ARF faction Artsvik Minasyan. Will the government accept the recommendation of the MPs? “We will see what the MPs will recommend. Besides illogical recommendations nothing else is excluded,” said the deputy minister of finances Pavel Safaryan.
