The election in Armenia have been followed by a rise in prices, Anahit Bakhshyan, a Heritage party member, told journalists on today. "I am surprised that the election have been followed by a price rise. I mean the gas price, as well as prices for dairy products. And they are going to raise tuition fees as well," she said and added that the consequence of the process is emigration. "People are silently expressing their discontent by leaving the country," she said.
On the other hand, Bakhshyan does not think the price rise may cause social unrest.
Anahit Bakhshyan thinks that total raising of prices in Armenia is conditioned by striving of oligarchs to return expenses at the past election.
To note, the tuition fee at Yerevan State University will rise starting the next academic year. The minimal fee will be 400 thsd drams ($1000) instead of $300 thsd last year. The tuition fee at judicial faculty of the University will grow from 700 thsd drams up to 800 thsd drams. The growth of the fee will touch only the students which entered the University in 2013. Pro-rector of the Yerevan State University, Aleksandr Grigoryan, said that salary of the University teachers will
grow thanks to the growth of the tuition fee.
