    YEREVAN, OCTOBER 30, NOYAN TAPAN. By the 2009 draft state budget,
    the financing of expenditures of the RA Ministry of Foreign Affairs
    will grow by 858 mln drams or 12.5% to 7.726 bln drams, the deputy
    minister of finance Pavel Safarian announced at the October 30 joint
    sitting of the National Assembly standing committees.

    According to him, the programmed expenditures on the MFA managerial
    staff will make 6.418 bln drams in 2009, growing by 11% or 630 mln
    drams on 2008.

    Expenditures on the MFA staff maintenance are envisaged to make 913.3
    mln drams, which exceeds the 2008 index by 20.1%. In planning the
    expenditures, it was taken into account that the ministry's staff
    was reduced by 35 employees as a result of structural changes in
    connection with a change in the status of the MFA Agency of Relations
    with the Diaspora and the MFA Department for Implementation of
    Regional Programs. According to the deputy minister, the growth of
    expenditures is conditioned by an increase of salaries. In particular,
    it is envisaged increasing additional payments for diplomatic ranks
    5.5fold in 2009. An additional payment was established for diplomats
    with knowledge of a third foreign language for the first time.

    Expenditures on maintenance of embassies and representative offices
    are envisaged to make 5 bln 142 mln drams in 2009, which exceeds by
    475 mln drams the 2008 index.
