“To note, during the [recent] Budget 2014 discussions [at the NA], PM Tigran Sargsyan had substantiated the [Government decision on] termination of the provision of unemployment benefits on the fact that they were used ineffectively because, in 94 percent of the cases, they were received by [socially] secure people who did not even seek jobs, and [, as a result,] these [monetary] means were ‘pulverized,’ [and] therefore [, as per the PM,] the right thing to do is to end them [i.e., the unemployment benefits],” Zhamanak writes.
