ArmInfo. We are against job cuts and optimization in the public sector. Chairman of the Prosperous Armenia Party Gagik Tsarukyan stated this on March 13 in an interview with journalists.
"If you reduce someone, you must provide this person with work. If a person is a poor specialist, he can be fired from his job, but if a person is a good specialist, he worked for about 20 years, you suddenly decide to reduce it, or if you say" you a member of my team, leave "how do you feel this person? You can not just cut people. Many of them have loans. Now, many people think only about how to repay the loan, otherwise they will remain on the street" - Tsarukyan wondered.
When asked whether Tsarukyan was optimizing in the state sector, the MP said: "Yes, we are against it, because people went to revolution in order to live better. If so many people are left without work, then the state will have to give out benefits to all these people. I expected that after the revolution, reductions in the country would stop, but new jobs would appear, wages would rise, and bank interest on the contrary would decrease, "he stressed.
