The Government of Armenia proposes to give compensation against the bank savings of the war veterans of 1941-1945 of the Former Socialist Republic of Armenia. The compensation is to be given out of the turn and in connection with the 65th anniversary of the victory in the Great War. The repayments will cover all the savings deposited in the bank until June 10, 1993. The approval of the changes in the state budget for the year 2010 was made during the 25th session of the government meeting. It was considered for the implementation without delay. ‘The issue was discussed within the ‘Republican Party’ and an unequivocal understanding was reached that the tribute should be done to the war veterans,’ said the Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan adding that the government anticipates the societal approval in this regard as well.
The planned decision along with the opinion is already introduced for consideration to the National Assembly. It is expected to be discussed from the 6th of April during the planned full session.
According to the data from Ministry Of Labor And Social Affairs, 3766 veterans out of the 3936 had not yet made use of the repayment program with the view of the deposited savings that they made in the former Savings Bank. The planned changes will require around additional 1 billion drams in order to compensate the savings deposited in the bank. The Deputy Minister Artiom Asatryan explains that, because the government does not currently possess information about the entries in the savings books of the war veterans, the calculations are based the average of 245000 drams to be compensated.
It is necessary to bear in mind that the foreseen budget for 2010 contains 1 billion and 700000 drams to be repaid against the savings. The repayment is to be provided on the basis of the program on the poor layers of the society and endorsed within law on the state budget of 2006. The overall number comprised 62000 persons with 138000 savings books. 29000 out of the mentioned total had already been given the repayments.
