He also noted that the insecurity benefit provided to 105 thousand families will be increased by AMD 24 000, so that they can pay for the increased electricity bill. By the way, annually the Government provides 2.5 billion to social security system. “Many people think that the electricity price hike is conditioned by the luxuries of the ENA or as people say by plunder, but it isn’t true, there are 3 reasons: lack of water resources, temporary suspension of work of the nuclear power plant, devaluation of the national currency,” noted Prime Minister.
