ARF-D: “Smile will disappear from Republicans’ face”
ARF-Dashnaktsutyun MP Ara Nranyan strictly condemns the 2012 state budget, saying it reflects the interests of the political majority.
"Authorities also bear responsible for those who did not vote for them, otherwise they will witness unpredictable consequences and the smiles that lit the faces of parliamentary majority will disappear," he said.
The National Assembly today discussed ARF-D's proposal to raise the minimum wage from AMD 32 500 to AMD 52 000.
The Republican Party of Armenia disapproved the bill and did not participate in the vote.
"As long as the government lacks an appropriate base for the bill, we shall abstain from the vote," said RPA faction leader Galust Sahakyan.
The Armenian parliament voted 14-0 to keep the minimum wage unchanged in 2012.
