YEREVAN. - The community enlargement in Armenia will reduce the administrations in villages, but this does not at all suppose unemployment, First Deputy Minister of Territorial Administration, Vache Terteryan, said in the parliament Wednesday at the discussion of the Draft Law on Administrative-Territorial Division of Armenia.  The bill suggests enlarging twelve other communities in addition to the current three.

The new communities are no longer composed of a village and a city but several villages or a city with its nearby villages.

The administrative staff will be reduced on the ground. But on the released capital, the new administration can recruit other workers of more necessary professions.  

“You can visit any village composed of 300-400 people and ask who they need more: administration which has nothing to do, kindergarten caregivers,  streetlight inspectors or teachers. That is, the working places will not decline; they will just become more necessary,” the Deputy Minister said.
