RAISE OF WAGES IN THE ARMY

Social

Since 2006 the Government intends to regularly raise the wages of the military servicemen every year. The RA PM Andranik Manoukyan and Defense Minister Serge Sargsyan have come to an oral agreement. As for the percent of the raise, Serge Sargsyan kept details private, «Let us wait for the 2006 budget, and we will know».

Although the wages of the RA military servicemen have been raised by 30 000 drams, the Defense Minister thinks that it is not enough to be considered normal. Special attention has been paid to the servicemen on fighting duty near the RA borders. There are 8000 such servicemen in Armenia.
