The authorities, which distribute lavish bonuses to government officials at the beginning of the year at the expense of taxes paid by citizens, consider increasing pensions by 10 or 20 thousand drams an extravagance for pensioners. They can get millions, but 10 or 20 thousand drams are considered unnecessary for a pensioner. We were surprised to pay 3 million drams in bonuses to the deputies of the National Assembly, it turns out that the government is much more extravagant and generous towards themselves. The information is confirmed that at the beginning of the year up to 7-9 million drams of bonuses were paid to the ministers. It is about 18-23 thousand dollars. According to the same information, Nikol Pashinyan's year-end bonus amounted to almost 12 million drams. And if so, it means that he received more than 31 thousand dollars from the state budget, while he considers it pointless to give the pensioner 10 thousand drams more pension. Other high-ranking and middle-class officials did not receive lower bonuses either. Again, we are talking about millions of drams.

The prestigious international Fitch Ratings agency has raised Armenia's rating outlook to "Positive" and confirmed the rating at "BB-" level. RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan wrote about this. "This is not just a statistical change. this is a professional confirmation that the economic policy and institutional stability adopted by Armenia are gaining new qualitative weight in the international markets. It is a vote of confidence aimed at the economic resilience and political will of our state. The course of economic development of Armenia is entering a new stage of confidence. I congratulate everyone," he wrote.

I feel that the economy is overtaking politics and that is very good news, because the economic ties and economic interests that are being formed in Armenia-Azerbaijan relations and in the wider context are the most reliable guarantee of stability and security. RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said this during a conversation with journalists in Germany. "When the businesses of the region start making money with each other and each one brings additional income to their country, then none of the countries will have an interest in the destabilization of the other country and the region in general, on the contrary, they will show a very great interest in the stabilization of the countries and the region. And I encourage our businessmen to come and "abgon" to politics, it is a very constructive "abgon", Pashinyan said.

The formation of common energy resource markets is an important condition for ensuring equal and predictable conditions for all EAEU member states. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced this at the session of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council on December 11. "It is necessary to consistently move towards the creation of fully functional common markets, which will ensure effective interaction, transparency and balance of interests of all parties. At the same time, it is especially important to prioritize the internal supply of EAEU member states over the export of third countries and to develop unified approaches to the implementation of this principle. In the conditions of high instability of the global food markets, the stability of the agrarian systems of EAEU countries takes on a special importance to ensure economic stability. Achieving competitive results directly depends on the implementation of agreed practical measures, which include the systematic introduction of innovations, digital transformation, as well as the creation and development of effective mechanisms for financial support of joint industrial and agro-industrial cooperative projects. In the context of the implementation of the "roadmap" to create favorable conditions for the development of e-commerce in the EAEU, we believe that it is appropriate to pay special attention to the consistency of the implementation of digital solutions in the subsequent stages, ensuring the compatibility of the technological approaches used by the member states. This will contribute to the simplification of e-commerce processes and the sustainable development of the digital environment within the framework of digitization. We consider it important to implement initiatives aimed at the digital transformation of various sectors, including the customs-transport alliance. At the same time, in the field of cyber security, it is necessary to prioritize the creation of joint information protection mechanisms, increasing the stability of critical infrastructure, as well as developing standards and methods for responding to cyber threats. Such a comprehensive approach will help strengthen trust, increase the level of protection of the digital environment and ensure the safe and efficient operation of processes. Let me once again confirm Armenia's readiness for mutually beneficial cooperation," Pashinyan emphasized.

Nikol Pashinyan decided for the pensioners, which is more beneficial for them: pension increase or health insurance? Decided that health insurance is more preferable than increasing pensions. And maybe questions for retirees? Definitely, at least 9 out of 10 would prefer a direct increase in pensions. But since the direct increase of pensions is not beneficial to the government, they would have to "cut their mouths" and give it to the pensioners, Nikol Pashinyan decided instead of the pensioners that insurance is more appropriate. He says that if we increase the pension by 10 thousand drams, the pensioner will not solve his health problem. "If we increase a person's pension by 10,000 drams a month, will he be able to solve his health problems more or less properly? No, he won't be able to. That's why we said: let's not increase the pension, but introduce a healthcare system. With that, we put the increased pension of pensioners over the age of 65, without asking them, but they will receive services that cost several times more, which they, of course, will need. We will not cover the incomplete costs of all medicines, but in this way we will return to the pensioners an amount that is significantly more than the 10-11 thousand drams that we take from their potentially increasing pension and put on their health system," Nikol Pashinyan tries to justify not increasing the pension of pensioners by investing in insurance. It seems that everything is true, but it is still deceiving. The contribution of insurance has no direct relation to the non-increase of pensions. Even without the introduction of health insurance, pensioners, or at least most of them, had the privilege of using free medical care. Another thing that he was not always able to use. But it is not the case that he will be able to use it from now on, and many things will change in the pensioner's life when he solves his health problems after the insurance. Perhaps it will be even more difficult to use free medical care, because the authorities have decided that many medical services will be excluded from the provided insurance package, and insured citizens, including pensioners, will have to pay for them. Sometimes they have to pay even for medical services included in the insurance. Now, which is more beneficial for pensioners: insurance or pension increase? To be insured and receive the medical services they received before, or the 10,000 AMD increase in pensions? One way or another, the innumerable difficulties and hardships that pensioners used to go through while using the state pension will not disappear even with the introduction of insurance and will continue to haunt them.

They said that income declaration has no fiscal purpose. They convinced citizens to submit declarations in order to allegedly receive social credits. Now we see what is actually hidden under the name of income declaration. This year, more money was collected from those submitting declarations than they returned in the form of social credits. The government, which does not seek fiscal goals from income declaration, managed to collect almost 9 billion drams from the citizens who submitted the declaration. And this is in the case when only 20 percent of those who are declared actually submitted a declaration. We are talking about the people who entered and filled out the declaration. According to the latest data, their number reaches 178 thousand. 9 billion drams of tax were collected from the income declaration of so many people. Now imagine how much money they could expect if everyone submitted income declarations to the religious authorities.
