Bright Armenia faction head in the Council of Elders David Khazhakyan noted that mayor's office has created the regressive and inefficient budget of Yerevan for 2020.

“The presented project provides for the largest deficit over the past five years, it is about AMD 9 billion,” he wrote on Facebook. “Unprecedented inflated salary fund, it reaches 40% of its own income. This means that we approached the indicator when almost half of the total amount goes to administrative expenses, the second half - to solve the problems of the city. 40% is an unacceptably large indicator.”
