Even though Armenia’s parliament today passed a government bill
regarding the minimum wage in Armenia, the Armenian Revolutionary
Federation (ARF) has introduced a proposal to make additions and
amendments to the new law.

The parliament will study the ARF bill in a special session.

The new wage law will hike the minimum monthly salary from 32,500
AMD to 35,000 as of January 1, 2013.

The ARF MPs argue that a calculation of the minimum wage should take
into account the existing inflation rate in the country and the price
of a barebones basket of consumer comestibles.
