YEREVAN. – We have submitted a proposal to raise the salaries of the personnel of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, it’s at the phase of discussion, the concerned bodies still have to look [at it]. The Minister of Emergency Situations of Armenia, Feliks Tsolakyan, on Wednesday told this to reporters.

Tsolakyan added that they want this salary increase to be considerable, but he did not wish to say to what extent they had proposed to raise these wages.

“Let me not say that because I don’t want to disappoint anyone,” the minister said. “If it’s as much as we have planned, it’s good. [But] if it’s a little less, there will be disappointment; I don’t want that.”
