Zaruhi Batoyan gets AMD 1.5 million salary

Speaking to reporters in parliament before the National Assembly-Government Q&A session, Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Zaruhi Batoyan referred to the Prime Minister's secret instruction about increasing the salaries of ministers, deputy ministers and secretaries-general.

“I got a job with the salary that I used to work for both as a deputy minister and as a minister. That is to say, I had no problems or expectations in this regard, but it was just a recommendation," Zaruhi Batoyan said.

The Minister did not want to say why this instruction was given in secret, explaining that he was not the addressee of the matter.

Zaruhi Batoyan also mentioned that since March she has received 1.5 million AMD salary.
