Armenian govt. rejects Orinats Yerkir offers on 2013 budget – paper

Armenian government has turned down Orinats Yerkir parliamentary group offers regarding 2013 draft budget, Zhoghovurd daily reported. Thus, their proposals are either worthless, or the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) simply ignores its only coalition partner.

Orinats Yerkir suggested the pay gap between the parliamentary group experts and the MPs’ assistants be eliminated, with the government deeming the issue secondary.

“Our programs comprise a number of strategic principles, and their inclusion in the draft budget is essential for us,” Orinats Yerkir party member Mher Shahgeldyan told the paper.
