YEREVAN. – It has become apparent that a group of Armenian National Assembly (NA) MPs’ assistants have petitioned NA Speaker Samvel Nikoyan to restore the social justice, Zhoghovurd daily writes, referring to its well-informed sources.  

“The MPs’ assistants informed that, unlike them, NA Staff members have always received gifts and a ‘13th salary’ in connection with all holidays. According to our information, Nikoyan promised them to resolve the problem soon. But since the Parliament’s piggy bank is empty, NA Speaker petitioned the Armenian Government, so that amount be allocated from the reserve fund. In the meantime, NA MPs’ assistants also left relevant messages on Nikoyan’s Facebook account, but they were deleted one by one,” Zhoghovurd writes.
