ArmInfo.During the optimization, none of the rescuers of the MES will be dismissed. Minister of Emergency Situations Feliks Tsolakyan announced this on February 5 at a press conference.
He stressed that during the optimization of the state apparatus a number of SNCOs operating under the ministry will be closed, however, the leadership of the MES will do everything possible so that the optimization does not affect the state.
"In particular, we don't intend to reduce rescuers at all. It is precisely the number of posts that will be reduced. The employees of the central apparatus of the MES will move to the lower levels. I believe that in this way our work will become more efficient. Optimization will be completed this summer," the minister said.
Tsolakyan also noted that, of course, the transfer of employees to the lower levels will lead to a decrease in their wages, however, the difference will be small. To note the elimination of duplicate units in the Ministry of Emergencies was planned last year.
