ArmInfo.We have submitted to the government three packages of economic and social measures that will make it possible to reduce the destructive effects of coronavirus. Mikayel Melkumyan, MP from the Prosperous Armenia faction, said this at a briefing in the National Assembly on April 20.
He noted that the first package is aimed at supporting those citizens who receive daily salaries. The second package concerns taxi drivers, and according to the third package, it is planned to provide assistance to single elderly people, people with disabilities and large families who receive only benefits or pensions.
In turn, another MP from "Prosperous Armenia" Naira Zohrabyan emphasized that it is necessary to reduce the tuition fees for students by at least 25%. <The situation in the country has become very complicated, people have no money for food; many students' parents lost their income because of the coronavirus. They do not work and cannot pay for the education of children, we must change this situation>, the MP emphasized.
According to Zohrabyan, the authorities should also finally resolve the issue related to assistance to persons who received daily salaries, however, were not registered employees. <These people are in extremely poor condition. All this can lead to extreme social tension>, the MP concluded.
