YEREVAN. – Zhoghovurd newspaper of Armenia writes: Zhoghovurd daily had written in its yesterday's issue that the government is secretly discussing, passing drafts under the name of the ones that are not reported on.

And so, yesterday, the government raised, with an unreported draft, the salaries of law enforcement investigators. In particular, 4.1 billion drams—or 8.2 million [US] dollars—were allocated from the government reserve fund to increase the salaries of the employees of the National Security Service, the Investigative Committee, and the Police.

The rationale for allocating the money is that there is a need to slightly improve the financial situation of investigators, as the number of criminal cases has increased and investigators have begun to leave the system.
