According to the grandest calculations, we have envisioned 1 billion drams from the 2020 budget for bonuses, and we have allocated 70 billion drams for raising pensions, benefits, salaries; I don't even calculate healthcare costs. Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this during the YES campaign—in the forthcoming referendum on constitutional amendments—in Sisian town.

“I consider the decision on bonuses to be right; please support that decision,” the Prime Minister said. “We must exclude a situation where only those who look into someone else's pocket, or who do not have a sufficient professional level, work in the state system. Yes, we will pay bonuses, and I will demand extreme productiveness from all ministers.

Second, yes, the prestige of working in the public administration system should be increased; this service should be provided at the highest level. We will carry out public administration reforms so that the government does not interfere much and help as much as possible."
