ArmInfo. Police received incentive payments amounting to AMD 6.5mln this month from the taxes paid by Armenia’s taxpayers, Artur Ghazinyan, a member of the opposition parliamentary faction Armenia, wrote on a Facebook post.
“Medical workers and teachers did not receive incentive payments, but policemen did. Nikol [Pashinyan, Armenia’s premier] does not care a bit about doctors or teachers now. He received their votes last year, did he not? And police are much more important for him now as policemen are mercenaries helping him retain power,” Mr Ghazinyan said.
According to him, Armenia’s premier will once more deceive teachers and doctors by speaking of “the former ones and plunder” during the next election and receive their votes.
However, the RA Police reports that incentive were paid both before and after the adoption of the Law on Payments to Public Officers in 2014.
