ARF MP Artsvik Minasyan, speaking in the National Assembly about the legislative initiative of the ARF to raise the minimum wage, said. “It appears they contradict themselves. The connection between the average wage and the minimum wage is fixed in sustainable development program. In fact, firstly, the speaker says that approach is wrong. Secondly, the second speaker found wrong the European Social Charter and plus other 45 states. Mr. Minister, if you were so kind and studied European Social Charter, reviewed by the social committee, and if you looked trough analyzes and recommendations of the Committee, then you would see the connection between 50% till 60% and you don’t need to check the Wikipedia or other places. There is the RA basic law – constitution. ”
Recall that according to the ARF party’s proposed initiative, the minimum monthly salary should be 45,000 drams.
