In response to deputies’ questions in parliament today, Deputy Prime Minister of Armenia Mher Grigoryan said the government will try to help the employees of restaurants who have lost their jobs.

Grigoryan particularly stated that it will be hard to help most of those employees since they aren’t officially registered and don’t even receive salaries and only receive tips. Nevertheless, according to him, the government will try to identify those employees and find paths to develop targeted assistance programs for them.
