In this stage, it is necessary to know how many people have kept their jobs, but haven’t been paid, and work is being done in this direction. This is what Deputy Prime Minister of Armenia Mher Grigoryan said in response to deputies’ questions in parliament today.

According to him, the government has provided many grants to help companies that haven’t laid off their employees and haven’t cut their salaries.

“According to preliminary data, there are currently 12,000 people in forced idleness,” the Deputy Prime Minister said.
